Let's Meditate

On Wednesday 12 December a mural by Mr Wany was inaugurated, created together with 30 students of Florentine schools of graphics, illustration and comics, on the wall of the Guglielmo Marconi Elementary School in Via Enrico Mayer. Mr Wany (Andrea Sergio, born in Brindisi in 1978) is now an internationally known author and has worked in every country in the world. Starting as a Graffiti writer and Street Art, he has been working for 30 years in the most diverse sectors: cartoons, comics, tattoos, art galleries, set design, screen printing and even music production and publishing. This is how his current style is defined: surrealist pop painting, graf-futurism, with influences from comics, tattoo, style writing, urban art and new muralism.

The work, decidedly of high figurative and chromatic quality, presents a harmonious set composed of a dented metal girl's head leaning on a portable radio bearing the school name, a transmitting antenna, a folding fan, vegetation growing among the objects, a flying beetle is approaching. Let's risk a very personal interpretation: the child is an object like any other, thrown away in a garbage dump. Let’s meditate! Florence, via Enrico Mayer.
