Grazia Varisco

Grazia Varisco (Milan, 1937) is an Italian artist known for her contributions to kinetic and programmed art. She studied at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan and began her career in the 1950s, exhibiting her works in solo and group shows throughout Italy and internationally.

Varisco's work is characterized by a rigorous approach to geometric abstraction, in which she explores the relationship between form, color, and movement. She was particularly interested in the use of light and optical effects in her work, and often used materials such as neon lights and mirrors to create dynamic and engaging installations.

Throughout her career, Varisco was involved in the development of kinetic and programmed art in Italy, and was a founding member of the Gruppo T (Group T) along with fellow artists Giovanni Anceschi, Davide Boriani, and Gianni Colombo. The group aimed to investigate the relationship between art and technology, and created works that were based on mathematical and scientific principles.
