His paintings generally feature surfaces that change appearance depending on the angle of observation, thus giving the illusory sensation of movement.In 1959, together with some architecture students of the same age, he founded the Enne-A Group. In 1960 he exhibited together with Agostino Bonalumi, Enrico Castellani, Piero Manzoni and other European artists at the Azimut Gallery in Milan. In the same year, with Ennio Chiggio, Toni Costa, Edoardo Landi and Manfredo Massironi he formed the N Group. with Bruno Munari, Enzo Mari and Group T (Giovanni Anceschi, Davide Boriani, Gabriele Devecchi, Gianni Colombo, Grazia Varisco).Between 1959 and 1960 he created Trame, reticular and permeable objects made with perforated paper. He soon approaches this series with that of Optical-dynamic reliefs, in which lamellar structures superimposed on tables with contrasting colors create particular visual effects. The first Torsioni also date back to the same period, works developed on classic geometric shapes (square, circle, triangle and rectangle), made with pvc slats on a table, capable of creating perceptual effects that vary with the movement of the viewer. In 1962 he designs the Light prisms which will be made in environmental dimensions in 1969. After the experience of Group N, Alberto Biasi proceeds with his investigation as a soloist and, at the end of the 1960s, he elaborates the first Polytypes. A few decades later, at the end of the nineties, he made the Assemblaggi.His collective and personal exhibitions are countless, including his participation in fundamental exhibitions in the history of kinetic art, such as "Nove Tendencije" in Zagreb and the great exhibition "The responsive eye" at the MoMA in New York. More recently, a great anthology at the Eremitani Museum in Padua is remembered in 1988, in 1995 the retrospective "Biasi and the ENNE Group at the Venice Biennale, in 2006 the exhibition of about thirty of his historical works in the Rooms of the Hermitage of San Petersburg, in 2007 the exhibition at the Diocesan Museum of Barcelona and the participation in 2008 at the International Triennial of Contemporary Art in Prague.
