Enzo Cacciola (born December 12, 1945, in Arenzano, Italy) is an Italian contemporary painter. He is one of the most prominent representatives of the international movement of Analytical Painting, and since the mid-1970s his work has been associated with the radical use of cement, asbestos, and other industrial materials in artistic practice. In 1977, he took part in documenta 6[1] in Kassel, in the Malerei section curated by Klaus Honnef and Evelyn Weiss. Throughout his career, he has developed cycles of works characterized by processuality and by an exploration of the relationship between painting, matter, and space. Cacciola lives and works in Rocca Grimalda, Piedmont.

Early Life and Education

edit

Enzo Cacciola was born on December 12, 1945, in Arenzano, in the Italian region of Liguria. He currently lives and works in Rocca Grimalda, Piedmont.[2]

He began painting in the late 1960s, gradually developing his own experiments in which he explored the relationship between surface, support, and color. These early works laid the foundation for his later analytical approach to painting.[3]

Artistic Beginnings (1969–1973)

edit

Enzo Cacciola’s first public appearance took place in 1969, when he participated in the XI Premio Diomira at the Galleria Gian Ferrari in Milan.[4]

In 1971, he opened his first solo exhibition[5] at Galleria La Bertesca in Genoa, a venue that played a key role in the affirmation of contemporary art in Italy.

His early works were focused on exploring the relationship between surface, support, and color, through which the artist gradually shaped his analytical approach to painting. During this period he also created the cycle Integrative Surfaces (1971–1973), in which Cacciola investigated the connection between the canvas and the surrounding space: the Integrated Surfaces of 1974 examined the relationship between the background wall and the pictorial work itself. These works merged the physical space of the canvas with the negative space from which the support emerges.[6]

In 1972, Enzo Cacciola held his first solo international exhibition at the Victor Vasarely Museum in Pécs (Hungary). This made him one of the first Italian artists of his generation to present an individual body of work outside Italy, and his practice was already recognized at that time as part of the new geometric and analytical orientation in painting.

The following year, he participated in the international exhibition The Golden Nightingale[7] in Voghera (1973), curated by Palma Bucarelli, director of the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome. Alongside Cacciola, the exhibition featured Gianfranco Zappettini, Paolo Cotani, Marco Gastini, and Carmengloria Morales. In later decades, the show came to be regarded as an important moment in the affirmation of a new generation of Italian artists and as one of the historical beginnings of Analytical Painting on the international scene.

“Cements” and “Asbests” (1974–1977)

edit

In the early 1970s, Cacciola turned to working with unconventional materials such as cement and asbestos, which he treated as pictorial media. These industrial materials, previously associated exclusively with construction, became the focus of his research. Through the series Cements Asbestos (1974–1976), the artist systematically used cement in a pictorial context for the first time, emphasizing the materiality and tactility of the surface instead of the traditional painterly effects of color.[8]

In 1975, Cacciola was invited to the exhibition Analytische Malerei in Düsseldorf, curated by Klaus Honnef. This event represented one of the most important acknowledgments of Analytical Painting in the European context. There, Cacciola presented works from the Cements and Asbests cycles, in which industrial materials became carriers of expression and of the processual dimension of the artwork.[9]

Between 1976 and 1978, he developed the cycle Grey Cements, works in a grey scale where matter itself became the bearer of expression. In these canvases the motif of the crack appears, which later acquired symbolic value in his oeuvre, signifying an inner need for self-analysis and an exploration of the boundaries of reality.[10]

Participation in documenta 6 (1977)

edit

In 1977, Enzo Cacciola was invited to documenta 6 in Kassel, one of the most important international exhibitions of contemporary art. He exhibited in the Malerei (Painting) section, curated by Klaus Honnef and Evelyn Weiss.

Alongside works executed in cement, on this occasion the artist carried out a conceptual operation that questioned the very role of the artist. As he wrote in his Operative Process (1975–1977):

“In 1975 I used the photographic medium with special intentions within the photographic canvas and within those issues that the medium offered at that time… Documentation as a fact of the event, the program as a technical procedure in terms of unfolding, as documentation of phases and didactic evidence of the work… In the use I make of photography, the subject–object relationship remains: the I-subject as the artist acting upon the object, as the work of art, is documented by photography, and the photograph itself becomes the work, as an element in itself outside the artist as creative subject and the object as artwork.”[11]

To further radicalize this idea, Cacciola delegated to curators Honnef and Weiss the task of selecting a work at least seventy years old that would represent him. Their choice fell on a Renaissance Venus from Titian’s workshop, held in the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne. The painting was exhibited in Kassel alongside a panel with the text of the Operative Process, in which the artist explained his concept. In this way, the artist “passivized” his own role, leaving the position of creator to the critic.

Critics regarded this procedure as a provocative unmasking of the artistic process and a blow to established aesthetic criteria. His participation in documenta 6 was considered a confirmation of the analytical and conceptual tendency on the international scene, especially as he exhibited alongside artists such as Joan Miró, Francis Bacon, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Joseph Beuys, and Anselm Kiefer, among others.[12]

International experiences and “Landscapes of Painting” (1979–1980s)

edit

In early 1979, Cacciola began a period often referred to as his “overseas experiences,” marked by travel and the creation of works directly in contact with local landscapes and materials.

That year he stayed on the island of Taboga in Panama, where he created a cycle of works made with local sand and natural materials. On the island, Cacciola established an operative practice that would mark all his later works: sourcing the necessary material on site, finding a suitable space in which to work, preparing the mixture, manually spreading the paste on entirely free canvases, drying, and producing a photographic record.[13]

In the same period, Cacciola held a solo exhibition at Georgetown University in Washington (1979), where for the first time he presented figurative canvases depicting himself and his daughter in natural surroundings.

In 1980, in Mexico City, at the invitation of Juan Luis Díaz, he presented the cycle 36 horas de pintura en San Giacomo, a performative project during which he painted continuously for 36 hours, recording the passage of time through changes in color linked to natural light and atmospheric conditions. His close friend and colleague Walter Di Giusto also participated in the exhibition, presenting his own works.[14]

Cacciola’s “overseas” explorations marked the beginning of the cycle later called “landscapes of painting,” in which the artist employed materials specific to the local environments in which he worked. This approach linked his analytical practice with nature and the experience of place, emphasizing the relationship between materiality, light, and time.

In June 1981, Cacciola participated in the exhibition Pittura in radice at Galleria Forma in Genoa, curated by Achille Bonito Oliva. The exhibition brought together Cacciola, Gianfranco Zappettini, and Walter Di Giusto, and critics interpreted it as a bridge between Analytical Painting and the Transavanguardia, the movement through which Oliva, since the late 1970s, promoted a return to painting freed from ideological frameworks and conceptual rigidity.[15]

Later work and return to cement (2000–present)

edit

In the second half of the 1980s, Cacciola gradually withdrew from the art scene and dedicated himself to his place of residence, Rocca Grimalda in Piedmont, where he also served as mayor, a position he has more recently taken up again.[16]

At the beginning of the 2000s, he returned to active exhibiting and the development of new cycles, particularly the Multigum series, named after the synthetic resin that became the medium of his research. The works in this cycle consist of two pictorial surfaces (canvas and frame) seemingly tightened by long screws and metal bolts. In reality, these elements exhaust their function at the moment the artist fastens the screws, allowing the resin, poured between the canvases, to glue the two parts together and to express itself through extrusions that introduce into the work, in its final stage, an element of pure, uncontrolled, and unpredictable chance.[17]

During the 2010s, Cacciola returned once again to cement, this time through the Nanodur cycle, in which he used a new type of material - elastic cement in various tones - on canvases and frames of different sizes. Multiple layers of cement, with drippings along the edges of the surfaces and craquelure effects obtained through the use of water, produced works in which the analytical method of the 1970s continued but at the same time resulted in more varied and expressive effects.[18]

Since 2017, the artist has once again explored natural materials within his overseas cycles. In Cuba (Bay of Pigs), he created works in which cement was used in its pure, monochrome appearance, in contrast to earlier cycles from Panama and Mexico. In works produced during his stays in Latin America, Cacciola transferred the experience of natural elements such as sand, soil, volcanic dust, and thermal mud onto the pictorial surface. It was precisely this need for self-analysis, exploration, and the experience of often distant realities that had first led Cacciola, in 1979, to the island of Taboga in Panama. The last overseas painting cycle before his return with the Argentine experience saw the artist working in 2017 in Cuba, in the famous Bay of Pigs, once again guided by the desire to explore “new horizons”; the tropical environment in which he worked decisively influenced the final appearance of the canvases.[19]

In 2022, Cacciola stayed in Argentina, where he realized the cycle Los colores de la tierra, using natural pigments from the Purmamarca region. This cycle was presented at his solo exhibition at the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo (MAC) in Salta in 2023.[20]The works from the Argentine cycle were created by collecting rocks of fascinating colors from La Candelaria, Rosario de la Frontera, and the Cerro de los Siete Colores massif.[21]

Artistic Oeuvre and Poetics

edit

From the very beginning, Cacciola’s oeuvre has been marked by an analytical approach to painting, through which he investigated the relationships between support, surface, material, and the very process of painting. His early works, linked to geometric concretism, gradually led toward the reduction of expressive means and the emphasis on process as the fundamental component of the artistic act.

For Cacciola, it was already in the 1970s crucial to shape his own poetics, which he summarized in the formula “the work becomes the artwork.” It was precisely after the period of his Integrative Surfaces (1971–1973) that he formulated within himself the poetic-ideological equation according to which “work becomes the artwork.” Cacciola thus theorized this concept, which would become the foundation of all his subsequent painting.[22]

In the series Cements and Asbests (1974–1976), he systematically used industrial materials such as cement and asbestos as painting matter for the first time in the history of painting. In doing so, he gave a new artistic value to materials that until then had been associated exclusively with construction. Critics emphasized that this procedure was related to the concepts of Arte Povera and Process Art, but remained consistent within the framework of Analytical Painting.[23]

Cacciola also stressed the importance of memory and historical awareness in art. His participation in documenta 6 in Kassel (1977) further confirmed this approach, particularly through the conceptual work in which he entrusted curators Honnef and Weiss with the choice of a work from Titian’s workshop to represent him. With this act, according to critics, he delivered a “punch to the stomach with respect to prevailing aesthetic criteria of the years of its conception (1974–1975).”[24]

From 1979 onward, he developed cycles of so-called “landscapes of painting”, linked to his travels and experiences in different geographic and cultural contexts - Panama (1979), Mexico City (1980), Cuba (2017, Baía de Cochinos), and Argentina (2022, Los colores de la tierra, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo, Salta). In these works he employed sand, earth, volcanic dust, and thermal mud, connecting the artistic act with the immediate natural environment. In the later Nanodur cycle (2010s), he explored a new type of cement in different tones and with elastic properties, thereby continuing a consistent line of experimental work with industrial materials.[25]

His work combines analytical rigor with elements of memory, historical citation, and the experience of place. In cycles inspired by different landscapes (Panama, Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, Ibiza), color, support, and material are not tools of representation but become signs of process and of symbiosis with nature. At the same time, the artist investigates the concept of systematic documentation of the creative process, including photography as an integral part of the artwork.

Critical Reception

edit

Since the early 1970s, Enzo Cacciola’s work has been systematically followed by Italian and international critics. Among the authors who have analyzed his oeuvre are Klaus Honnef, Evelyn Weiss, Filiberto Menna, Catherine Millet, Alberto Rigoni, Bruno Corà, Marco Meneguzzo, Viana Conti, and Achille Bonito Oliva.

Critic Alberto Rigoni emphasized that Cacciola was one of the most rigorous interpreters of Analytical Painting, particularly in the Asbestos series (1974), in which he employed industrial materials such as asbestos and cement, shaping geometries of limited chromatic values (Pompeian red, antique pink, pale green, sky grey). A year later, in the Grey Cements cycle (1976–1978), the artist gave cement an autonomous role, allowing the material—through stratified application and the appearance of cracks—to become the bearer of the artistic and conceptual value of the work.

Cacciola formulated his own poetics in the phrase “the work becomes the artwork”, stressing the importance of the process itself, in which the act of painting and the physical manipulation of material are transformed into the final result. His conceptual approach, particularly in the context of documenta 6 (1977), was interpreted as a “punch to the stomach in relation to prevailing aesthetic criteria”, since the artist delegated to the curators the choice of the work that would represent him, thereby questioning the roles of artist, critic, and viewer.
