Agostino Bonalumi (1935-2013) was an important Italian artist associated with the Zero movement. He is renowned for his innovative approach to painting and sculpture, where he explored the physicality and materiality of the canvas.

Bonalumi is best known for his relief paintings, where he manipulated the surface of the canvas, creating three-dimensional effects. He often used techniques such as embossing, engraving and painting to give the canvas a tactile quality.
His work often delves into the concept of space, both physical and metaphysical. He used light and shadow to create illusions of depth and dimension.
Bonalumi's work is characterized by a minimalist aesthetic, focusing on essential shapes and pure colors.
His work is often compared to that of other Zero artists such as Lucio Fontana and Piero Manzoni.
