Giulio Vesprini is all over the Italian basketball court, so to speak, covering 5 of these playgrounds this spring and summer. His canvas is huge, and he’s using it to experiment stylistically, all the while realizing that athletes throughout their game will consciously and subconsciously absorb his tones, shapes, and patterns.

With “Horizon” in Treviglio/Bergamo, Giulio says he is lifting direct inspiration again from the surrounding environment, “the green of the park that delineates the basketball court, the blues of the sky and the reds of the scorching sun during the games; a color-space that affirms itself in the urban fabric.”
Composed in situ, this original work will not be repeated elsewhere, a bespoke rendering of this moment and this place.
