The soft, candid white Pocko Gallery welcomes the products of traditional and applied art. A beautiful contrast with London’s Dalston neighbourhood, which on the other hand is a soft edged melting pot of developing identities.
The artworks showcased at the Not So Dolce Vita show are the synthesis of different illustrative approaches I developed throughout a number of commissions for the New Yorker, the Book Review of the New York Times, Le Monde, the illustrated news for Repubblica, the more extensive narrative of ‘The Journey of the Penguin’ created for Penguin Books, and the kinetic sculptures produced for Milano’s Design Week 2016.
Communicating through images allows me to experiment with a range of different languages and tones of expression, some more direct and some more subtle.
