Artist

Enrico Baj

Painting

Enrico Baj was an Italian painter and sculptor who emerged from the postwar avant-garde, cofounding the Art Brut movement in Europe and later developing a distinctive visual language combining collage, assemblage, and figuration. His work frequently incorporated found materials, bright colors, and gestural mark-making to create densely layered compositions that engaged with abstraction while maintaining a connection to the figurative. Active from the 1950s until his death in 2003, Baj occupied a singular position between European informalism and the more anarchic impulses of Surrealism and Dada revival.
