In 2011 he goes to China, first in Hangzhou, at the Zhejiang Daily Ideal Culture Development Company, then in Shanghai, at the Heng Yuanxiang Museum, where he creates two big Takète. Wooden sculptures painted in an uneven and gestural way, with sharp, assaulting, post-Futurist forms, they are the most characteristic feature of the artist’s synthetic aesthetics, who held a solo exhibition between 2019 and 2020 at Palazzo Collicola called Convergenze, exhibiting the famous Omìni first shown in 1970 at the Tartaruga in Rome, besides 9 Takète, some of which by the huge proportions.
One of the Takète exhibited at Palazzo Collicola was then donated to the Spoleto Modern Art Gallery. A sculpture in some ways ironic, it presents different pictorial visions for each side, being composed of edges and two-dimensional elements that, once together, form a virtual volume, a game of anti-geometric, dynamic and asymmetrical joints.
In 2013 at the Forte Malatesta in Ascoli Piceno he holds the exhibition A grandi linee. He participates in many collective exhibitions, including the VIII and XI Biennale de Paris and in the Sydney Biennale and exhibits at the Hayward Gallery in London, at the Frankfurter Kunstverein in Frankfurt, at the Sao Paulo Museum in Brasil, at the Taiwan Museum of Art, besides being included in the collection of XX-cen Italian artists featured in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
