Italian term or phrase: si spinge
L’Arte per lui ha sempre rappresentato quell’inesauribile spinta verso l’ignoto, al superamento dei limiti, che richiede uno speciale mezzo di locomozione, la velarca, un mezzo bizzarro, fatto di tanti materiali diversi, materia naturale elaborata per i bisogni del nostro tempo, testimone sincero di ciò che è avvenuto e che *si spinge* verso ciò che deve ancora essere ...

è un testo molto astratto di critica delle opere di un artista.
Ho il cervello completamente piatto oggi.
Grazie!
