      “Arno River Imaginary Topography” by Andreco in Florence, Italy

      by

      Italian artist Andreco recently finished a mural in Florence, Italy. Arno – Imaginary Topography, a 350 square meters site-specific intervention located in the central courtyard of Manifattura Tabacchi. It is his first public artwork after the lock-down. The work, curated by Caterina Taurelli Salimbeni (MIM – Made in Manifattura), represents an imaginary topography beginning from the shape of the Arno river. The public art project is a tribute to the environment and to those suggestive landscapes in Tuscany where the work is located. This artwork is also part of the wider Andreco’s art project on river ecology, green spaces and environmental advocacy.

      “For me the concrete form in the courtyard suggests an imaginary topography, a geological and morphological study for a future landscape. The floor-drawing wants to be a tribute to the territory, the geology, the rivers, the wetlands, the ecosystems, the unevenness of the Tuscan territories and to the place where it is located.” the artist said.

      A variation of reds with a blue line in the center which represents the Arno river in the Florence district. An imaginative landscape determined by balanced blue elements. The shades of reds are inspired by the color of the bricks of the buildings. The painting deconstructs the architectural elements and smoothens the industrial architecture, re-establishing a new life and a new beginning.

      Andrea Conte also known as Andreco works between art, science and social and environmental themes. Andreco is a visual artist and also an environmental engineer PhD specialize in sustainable resources management in different climate conditions. His artistic research is focused on the relation between humans and nature and between the built environment and the natural landscape. Since 2000 Andreco is researching between science, environmental sustainability, activism, urbanism, anthropology, ecology, philosophy, and symbolism, on the base of this transdisciplinary researches he creates his conceptual and visual language.

      “Le Pêcheur” by Telmo Miel in Boulogne, France

      by

      Artistic duo Telmo Miel is back with a new mural entitled “Le Pêcheur” in Boulogne, France. ‘Le Pêcheur’ is french for fisherman, the idea behind this piece is being a provider for yourself and others — something we all felt and thought about in the last months. Telmo Miel have been home for a while like everybody else doing studio work or projects close to home. But this time, they are finally able to travel again and do what they love in these crazy times.

      Telmo Miel consists of Dutch artists  Telmo Pieper and Miel Krutzman. Each artist comes from their own respected backgrounds with their own history behind them but the both have come together to combine their spray-painting techniques with realism, abstraction and surrealism. They often execute their pieces on a monumental scale, creating huge architecturally sized spray-paint paintings on building façades.
      Check out below to see images of their latest mural and stay tuned for more updates on the street art scene.

      Artist Interview: Travis Fish

      by

      Contemporary American artist Travis Fish has been a rising name in the global art scene. Originally from Wisconsin, Travis lives and works in New-York City.
      Travis Fish paints catchy motifs, shirts, pants, luxury sweatshirts and portraits as if he had put them on his large format canvases in no time. His art seems childish, naive, without clear lines, with watercolor colors, random spots and deliberate mistakes: “I paint as fast as I can, for fear of becoming too perfect. Spontaneity should be preserved at all costs.”
      Travis fits well in the current trend of naive painting with child-like motifs. Seen in this way also with artists like Robert Nava, Oli Epp or Katherine Bernhardt.
      I caught up with Travis to talk about his artistic process and the influence of fashion to it.

      Rom Levy: To begin, can you tell me a little about yourself and your background ?
      Travis Fish: I was born in Wisconsin 1989. Went to art school at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. After that I worked as a studio assistant for some painters I really respect. Following that I lived in Hong Kong and Korea for a few years, Then moved to New York in 2015.

      What’s your working process like?

      My process is a bit manic. I feel manic when I paint, you can see it in my eyes. The painting is on the ground. I dance around it a bit, trying to reach the middle. I use really watered down paint so things might spill around, so gotta deal with that. Usually I’m watching one layer dry so I can put the next layer down at the right time. Watching the paint dry is a part of it for me.

      Let’s talk about your current subjects. What inspired them, and what are your source materials?

      Currently I’m painting jackets, sweaters, and T-shirt’s. Mainly designer and grateful dead stuff. I started doing the clothes after a year of painting portraits of Migos. It started off where I would do a portrait of Offset, then Quavo, then Takeoff, repeat. I follow a bunch of fan pages that post daily. Then I started painting the clothes they would wear. I am a super fan. Fan art.

      How long have you been developing this visual language?

      I’ve been painting this way for about 4 years. It has been incubating over a decade and the visual language I am working within is a result of years of bad painting.

      How did your interest in fashion become such a prominent part of your creative process?

      My interested in fashion and adornment have not been lifelong. For most of art school I owned a single sweater. My interest in fashion was born out of my love for Offset. These are items of adornment that signify a certain level of wealth and mobility. This fashion is so fast. The speed at which new collections are released works with the speed of my painting. Fast fashion and fast painting. I find this contrasted with the permenance of painting, a very fruitful space to work in. From the technical perspective the sweater can give me so many different things to paint. It could be a sweater with text, or a nature scene, or a print, or whatever. There is always something there to push and pull.

      Have you ever been intrigued to work on a mural / public art & urban art ?

      I have made some big paintings(10×15’). So I think I would have some fun with a mural.

      I am interested in the ephemerity of paintings, do you view your own work as precious? If you are unhappy with a work, do you tend to destroy it or would you rather put it in storage for a while and alter them at a later date?

      I’m usually pretty happy with how they turn out ha. But if I’m not happy with it, I take it off the stretcher roll it up and put it away. Ive never destroyed a painting. I never rework paintings. I just like to start a new one. They are not precious when I am working on them, I have even been know to sleep under them, but when its finished it becomes a little more precious and the work becomes preserving it.

      Let’s talk about the work you are making for Carl Kostyál in September. What type of works are you preparing? Does it connect to previous works, or did you try something new?

      I’ll be working on the show with Carl right up until it’s time to hang. Right now I’m painting sweaters, but a lot could change in a month.
      In addition to that, Travis Fish will have an upcoming solo show at Carl Kostyál, Stockholm in September and will be showing in Carl Kostyál booth at Dalla Art Fair in April 2021.

      “Melt Fast, Die Young” by Roberto Ciredz in Rouen, France

      by

      The second edition of Rouen impressionnée Urban Art Festival which takes place in Rouen, a port city on the Seine and the capital of Normandy, is preparing to see the born of almost twenty murals until September 2020.
      Among many artists invited, we also find Cagliari based artist, Roberto Ciredz.For the occasion, he created a 10m high by 20m wide work entitled “Melt fast, die young”, a clear reference to the alarming situation about global warming.
      Roberto Cireddu, aka Ciredz, is one of the most internationally known Sardinian artist in Urban Art scene. His native land, Sardinia, with its breathtaking natural landscapes, has always been one of its main sources of inspiration combined with urban forms influenced by the cities in whom he has lived.
      The graphics and the volumes are the basis of the artist’s work, together with maths and geometries that come from urban space instead the color scheme and the forms come from nature.The intention to combine them together results from the attention to the relationship of coexistence between nature and mankind, a continuous dialogue that is visually translated into a geometric, abstract, almost illusory aesthetic.

      The mural painting realized for the Festival curated by Olivier Landes, is a wonderful abstraction that rewards inspiration, both for the shapes, the colors and a glacial landscape. The intentional chromatic choice derives from the desire to draw attention to a common problem in all which is strictly present ( global warming).

      “Il mondo di sopra” by VESOD in Milan,Italy

      by

      Vesod just recently finished a new mural in Piazzale Selinunte, Milan. This artwork is part of the Arte a San Siro project. Vesod’s mural features children on swings over twisting birds-eye-view urbanscapes. “Art in Sancero” is a project that includes realizing frescoes on the facade of the buildings of the region to revive it aesthetically and dynamically; open to artistic influences as well, and coming from a variety of cultures.
      Vesod Brero is a street artist from Turin. His artistic attitude has been fostered by his father Dovilio Brero, surrealistic painter, whose influence has an impact on Vesod since his youth: he has been therefore developing an interest in the graffiti world since the beginning of the 90s. Maths, which is the subject he got his graduation in, has an important impact on his works along with renaissance art and futurism. This can be recognized in Vesod’s attempt to harmonize anatomic proportion and futuristic dynamics.
      Check out below to view more images of the mural.
