Breaking the boundaries between painting and sculpture, Lucio Fontana (1899–1968) transformed the canvas into a dynamic area of light, gesture, and movement. His slashed and punctured surfaces, central to the Spatialism movement he founded, fundamentally redefined the relationship between artwork and space. Through an innovative aesthetic, his visionary practice paved the way for postwar contemporary art and continues to inspire artists around the world. In September 2026, Hauser & Wirth Hong Kong will present seminal works from 1949 onward, focusing on the revolutionary ‘Buchi’ (Holes) and ‘Tagli’ (Cuts), tracing the evolution of Spatialism and Fontana’s radical exploration of the canvas as a site of infinite possibility.
