Paolo Scheggi's work Inter-ena-cubo (1965), made of cardboard and Plexiglas, embodies his radical exploration of space and surface characteristic of the Italian Neo-Avant-Garde of the 1960s. With clear, geometric structures and monochromatic surfaces, the object-like painting merges with spatial art, making Scheggi one of the leading representatives of Pittura Oggetto. The interplay of light and shadow through the transparent and opaque Plexiglas elements gives the work a dynamic depth reminiscent of his influences, such as Lucio Fontana.
