The result is a body of work that explores the instability of perception and the sensory construction of space. Among his exhibitions in museum institutions are shows at the Triennale di Milano, the Museo della Permanente (Milan), the MAC – Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Lissone, the PAN – Palazzo delle Arti Napoli, and the Museo MA*GA in Gallarate, consolidating his presence within the Italian institutional art circuit.

 

His artistic practice is devoted to investigating the perceptual role of surface and color, both in sculpture and in two-dimensional works. Interested in geometry, chromatic variability, and the phenomenon of specular reflection, Negri employs these elements as devices of estrangement capable of altering the ordinary perception of volumes and planes. His works activate a kinetic relationship with space and with the viewer, ceasing to be fixed and absolute forms in order to become dynamic fields of interaction and visual contamination. Among the materials he favors are aluminum, colored paper, glass, and iridescent films, which, through their mutable and luminous character, disrupt a static and monolithic view of the work.
