Putty Toys Tricky, Ellos

From May 25 to June 8, 2023 Plus+ Studio hosts an exhibition by Italian-Argentinian artist Mariano Franzetti, who stages the project PUTTY TOYS TRICKY, ELLOS. A series of sculptures and tapestries featuring a strange and grotesque community of characters is on show.

Mariano Franzetti interprets figurative art in a modern key, with contemporary subjects belonging to the real world, set up in tableau vivants filled with symbolism and allusions.

The Trickynauta series is characterized by a sense of grotesque in fashion sauce - ugly but cool. A free flow takes on the guise of figures with distorted expressions and movements, never at ease nor perfectly placed in space, and subjects with irregular, exaggerated features, halfway between horror and caricature but, for this very reason, exemplifying an unconventional beauty, far from the canons imposed over time in art. This well reflects the contradictions of today's reality. An extravagant, dissimilar visual universe pervaded with irony and disenchantment. The marvelous losers of the creative stand out on drawings, polychrome paintings or large tapestries in pop tones or take shape in bas-reliefs and sculptures of various sizes. These may come as single or arranged in groups, stacked to compose pyramids with an precarious appearance. Engaged in the most disparate activities, fixed in vain poser attitudes in equivocal positions that often mimic the typical topoi of classical iconography.
