Pink Panther is a vertical metal sculpture created by Paolo Grassi as part of the conceptual project From "0" to Infinity. Installed near a residential entrance, the work stands out for its bold pink color and playful reference to the iconic cartoon character, evoking irony and affection while maintaining the rigorous geometric structure of Grassi’s artistic language. The form is clean and elongated, suggesting a totemic presence while inviting multiple interpretations – from humorous to architectural.

 

 

The number sequence engraved into the structure reflects the project’s conceptual foundations: time, transformation, and the invisible relationships between form and meaning. Pink Panther embodies a balance between pop culture and abstraction, bringing color and surprise into the daily urban landscape.

Pink Panther è una scultura metallica verticale creata da Paolo Grassi all’interno del progetto concettuale From "0" to Infinity. Collocata vicino all’ingresso di un’abitazione, l’opera si distingue per il colore rosa acceso e il richiamo affettuoso e ironico all’iconico personaggio dei cartoni animati, pur mantenendo la rigorosa struttura geometrica che caratterizza il linguaggio dell’artista. La forma pulita e allungata suggerisce una presenza totemica, lasciando spazio a molteplici letture, tra ironia e architettura.

 

 

La sequenza numerica incisa nella scultura riflette i fondamenti concettuali del progetto: tempo, trasformazione e relazioni invisibili tra forma e significato.

Pink Panther rappresenta un equilibrio tra cultura pop e astrazione, portando colore e sorpresa nel paesaggio urbano quotidiano
