In the beginning, Remo Bianco's painting was essentially figurative, strongly influenced by Rouault's existential expressionism. With the 1950s, his interests turned more and more towards the abstractionist movement, approaching above all the Nuclear Movement, founded in 1951 by Sergio Dangelo and Enrico Baj, and the Spatialism of Lucio Fontana. Thus, his painting moves almost completely away from figuration to become a layering of threads and brushstrokes, increasingly shapeless lumps of matter. His trip to the USA was important, where he became acquainted with Abstract Expressionism and met Jackson Pollock, from whom he opened the dripping technique that he used in the collages he produced in 1955.
