Mixed technique on opal plexiglass.
Gae Aulenti: mixed technique on opal plexiglass that the contemporary artist Carlo Massimo Franchi realizes for the project Milano Vola Alto. Subject of the work is the well-known architect and designer Gae Aulenti, who is portrayed half-faced, while her look points to the sky. The woman stands out on a background representing the ultramodern skyline of milanese area Porta Nuova, of which the central square entitled precisely to Aulenti represents the nerve center. Thanks to a learned alternation of warm and cold shades, Franchi gives dynamism to the scene, and by delimiting the subjects with thick contours lines he gives instead an idea of solidity and stability.
The work is signed on the right bottom by the artist.
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.
