Ettore Spalletti (1940 - 2019)
Ettore Spalletti
Ettore Spalletti is an Italian painter and sculptor.
Spalletti is mainly known for his blue monochrome paintings on various surfaces. Each work is the result of a meditative but rigorous process of applying a coat of paint at the same time each day to produce a specific tone evocative of the hour, season and weather. Finishing the work, the artist subjected it to a special technical treatment to achieve the desired effect of color transfer. In addition to paintings, the artist created sculptural compositions and works on paper.
Spalletti has participated several times in the Venice Biennale. His major commissioned works include the chapel at Villa Serena in Pescara, Italy, in collaboration with the architect Patrizia Leonelli, and the hall at the Raymond-Poincaré Hospital in Garché, France.
