Mixed media on opal plexiglass with interior led lighting
A work taken from the artist's latest collection, Stargate Light, where we find Franchi's continuous desire to experiment, which through the use of new materials such as neon and plexiglass, breaks through the barriers of the two-dimensionality of canvas, in a creation that knows how to go beyond the traditional pictorial form. In this case Franchi paints directly on plexiglass, then applying a black frame to it; a painting that goes beyond the classical format and dialogues with the surrounding space and the viewer. The work is a tribute to one of the iconic actresses of Italian cinema Monica Vitti and to the city of Venice.
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.
