The future goes from here: preparatory sketch of the work "Milan the future is here" for sale by Lombard artist Carlo Massimo Franchi, which is a tribute to Milan and its yearning for the future. The work unfolds vertically, recreating the idea of a stargate: at the end of an impassable path, the Torre Pelli can be glimpsed, a symbol of the combination of modernity and tradition typical of the Lombard capital. The skyscraper almost looks like a spaceship ready to take off, as is the very title of the work, shown on the underside, to sanction its launch point. The shimmer given by the glitter inserts on the surface of the building helps to recreate a transparent, almost translucent atmosphere.
The work is signed by the artist at the bottom and is framed.
1961 Pavia, Italy
Carlo Massimo Franchi (Pavia 1961) graduated at Brera Accademy, where he knew his Master Salvatore Fiume. His early works are strongly influenced by Fiume. The series called Mediterranean women is the best example: sensual women with soft curves, in Oriental atmospheres.
During the later period his style changes in a painting characterized by bright and flat colours. He realizes many works on commission and the series of Kaleidos, in which Cubist influences and the refined line of classical Greek art are mixed up.
He exhibits his works in many Italian and foreign cities (Milan, Turin, Palermo... San Francisco, Los ANgeles, Las Vegas...).
Now he lived and works in Novara.
