In these years, Ennio Tamburi discovered conceptual art, Minimalism, and he found in it the freedom of the game between image and matter so far unknown to him.

The origin of his works is always figurative, but with the inspiration of great masters of minimalism such as Robert Barry, Donald Judd, James Turrell, and above all Ellsworth Kelly: Tamburi finds the perfect synthesis between form and content. An affinity of synthesis and a formal discipline that has definitively freed himself from the search for complicity with the observer, from the remnants of narrative. He learned not to tell stories anymore, but only Forms.
