Fabio Petani121. Fabio PetaniStrong are the messages of our alchemist Fabio Petani, who mixes chemical and botanical knowledge in an investigating union of the natural essence. Work that winks at the ancient popular wisdom of recognizing plants, but his work is a deeper research, each of his works is a piece of a herbolarium and of the table of elements. Nothing is given to chance, each plant and each element are chemically linked together, this natural and alchemical link between plants and elements develops, because everything is linked to the territory in which the intervention is carried out. Fabio leaves scattered throughout the world reflections aimed at respect for nature and every molecule. The alchemical dichotomy of the universe is represented. Everything is represented with strong delicacy, the color palette is almost always soft and gives elegance to his works, the colors always chosen to embellish the pages are from his herbarium in the most balanced way possible with the surrounding landscape, so much from a distance his works as one with the previous architecture. To counteract this kindness he contrasts the use of vigorous geometric elements, which break up the linear vision of the whole, the focal point of his works are the phytomorphic figures, which are not banal decorative elements but the botanical heritage of the territory in which they act, these elements floral tend to establish a solid relationship between work and territory. Thus they create the message for those who identify it to regain possession of the natural knowledge of the world, investigating it with a new look, deepening it with the means of science. Because this alchemical combination will bring us back to appreciate what surrounds us and may perhaps be the key to understanding a part of universal functioning.
El Rey de la Ruina133. El Rey de la RuinaEl REY de la RUINA, in English: "The King of the Ruins" is the pseudonym and manifesto of an artist born in Barcelona, but who has lived in Madrid for more than 15 years. Through graffiti and painting in public spaces he shows us a personal vision of society, full of iconic images that, through repetition, are inserted into the retina of the passerby and become a vehicle for acidic and poetic messages. Plastically, his work is a collage of styles, plots and primary colors in vibrant combinations. In his graphic and mural work, the floral motifs, hearts, hands and symbolic objects tell us endless stories, sometimes of protest and rage, sometimes of poetry and inspiration. With clear and powerful drawing work and lines, a high-contrast color range and a series of vibrant geometric games and compositions, the artist plays with the musicality of the image while working with inspiring and ironic messages and conceptual games on the public space, contributing to all kind of new thoughts, discussions and conversations to the walker and society. In his own words: I believe that my work works on two levels, an optical level close to op-art and a conceptual level, close to Pop art or even Punk, in which the important thing is the message and the provocation. The visual part has something lysergic and psychedelic and connects with surreal and fantastic thinking, it captures the eye and hypnotizes with the vibration of the colors, it has an acidic flavor, which can almost be noticed on the tongue and palate, like a bauble that traps you in a world of wonder that is actually a trap. This trap becomes evident when you become aware of the physical and material part of the image, let's say that the realistic and critical part punches you in the face, as if you had fallen through the burrow hole to hit a wall of reality.
Any135. AnyANY è l'acronimo di About New York. Nel suo nome è sotteso l'amore folgorante per la Grande Mela che permea molte delle sue opere, ma anche la volonta di essere “uno qualsiasi”, confuso tra la folla. Formatosi all’Istituto d'Arte Pietro Selvatico di Padova, ha successivamente proseguito gli studi all’Accademia di Belle Arti e alla Facolta di Architettura di Venezia, percorsi che hanno influenzato la sua sensibilita estetica e compositiva. Dopo un periodo di distacco dalla pittura, ha iniziato a esprimersi con l'uso della fotografia utilizzando i negativi fusi con tecniche pittoriche, serigrafie, cianotipie e altro per poi passare alla sola fotografia, ma è proprio durante i frequenti soggiorni a New York che riaccende il suo linguaggio artistico, riprendendo la tecnica del carboncino, ora arricchita da decise incursioni di colore. L’esperienza immersiva nel quartiere di Bushwick, a Brooklyn, celebre per la sua scena di street art, segna una svolta. Affascinato dal lavoro di maestri come Eduardo Kobra, Any sceglie di “portare in strada” la sua arte, integrando l’uso dello stencil per reinterpretare la propria produzione pittorica in chiave urbana. E' proprio a New York che realizza una campagna di affissioni e alcuni lavori nella celeberrima Freeman Alley nel Lower East Side a Manhattan. Le sue opere nascono spesso da scatti fotografici personali, trasformati in narrazioni visive che spaziano da vedute urbane a ritratti emotivamente intensi. Attraverso queste immagini, lo sguardo dell’artista si alterna tra l’ampiezza della metropoli e l’intimita delle storie individuali, cogliendo frammenti di umanita nel quotidiano. In anni recenti, la sua ricerca si è orientata verso tematiche civili e sociali, affrontate con sensibilita visiva e senso critico, facendo della citta di New York non solo musa ispiratrice, ma anche metafora universale delle complessita del vivere contemporaneo. Sguardi ampi che abbracciano una citta e i suoi simboli prima di essere catturati da un dettaglio e concentrarsi improvvisamente sulle persone e le loro esistenze, raccontate da un momento, un'emozione. Un percorso in continua evoluzione ANY is an acronym for About New York. His name embodies a passionate love for the Big Apple that permeates many of his works, but also a desire to be "anyone," blending in with the crowd. Educated at the Pietro Selvatico Art Institute in Padua, he subsequently continued his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts and the School of Architecture in Venice, courses that influenced his aesthetic and compositional sensibility. After a period away from painting, he began to express himself through photography, using negatives fused with pictorial techniques, silkscreens, cyanotypes, and other techniques. He then moved on to photography alone. However, it was precisely during his frequent stays in New York that he rekindled his artistic language, returning to the charcoal technique, now enriched with bold incursions of color. The immersive experience in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn, famous for its street art scene, marked a turning point. Fascinated by the work of masters like Eduardo Kobra, Any chooses to "take his art to the streets," integrating the use of stencils to reinterpret his pictorial production with an urban twist. It was in New York that he created a billboard campaign and several works in the famous Freeman Alley on Manhattan's Lower East Side. His works often originate from personal photographs, transformed into visual narratives that range from urban views to emotionally intense portraits. Through these images, the artist's gaze alternates between the vastness of the metropolis and the intimacy of individual stories, capturing fragments of humanity in everyday life. In recent years, his research has focused on civil and social issues, which he addresses with visual sensitivity and critical thinking, making New York City not only a muse but also a universal metaphor for the complexities of contemporary life. Broad glances that encompass a city and its symbols before being captured by a detail and suddenly focusing on people and their lives, told by a moment, an emotion. An ever-evolving journey
