Franco Fontana has been celebrated in numerous international exhibitions for his care in the shots in colour of Italian landscapes since the 1970s to the recent 2000s. In each photograph he uses shape, color and light to achieve an almost pure ‘painting’ abstraction, which transforms the landscape into an imaginary place.
