Comunicato stampa

Minimal, Compact, Complete, and Toroidal—also referred to as MCCT—are the characteristics Lombardo attributes to the floor generated from a single tile arranged to form a pattern that saturates the pictorial surface.

The works are polychrome minimal prototypes created through the V-RAN algorithm, devised by the artist to generate the random displacement of the prototype’s vertices. They represent the most recent evolution of a line of research begun in 1990 on stochastic maps inscribed on tiles.

They are minimal because they lack redundancies; the absence of holes or empty spaces determines their compactness. Completeness, on the other hand, ensures the presence of all possible rotations of the tile without repetition, while toroidality defines the infinite possibility of omnidirectional repetition without interrupting the pattern.

On the occasion of the fifth solo exhibition of the artist at Palazzo Santacroce, 1/9unosunove presents an impressive selection of V-RAN MCCT Stochastic Compositions—large-scale works measuring 150 × 300 cm, as well as compositions reaching 300 × 600 cm—as a fundamental turning point in Lombardo’s research within the vast field of Stochastic Painting, and particularly in floor compositions.
