Franco Testa's ample chromatic backgrounds and his purist-style drawings hint to a classical landscape vision not exempt from constructivistic and functionalistic cultural references. The esprit de géométrie that inspires this quiet crossing of architectural and natural forms of his, is a search for a style as the final and unrenounceble goal of producing art. Cosmic order and human work meet in an aseptic game of syntactic and semantic analogies with such an exactness of language that we are assured that the connection has taken place between the subjective drive and the point of reference.
