Amaretto Art Edition at Supersalone21 Milan

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

SICIS has chosen the Supersalone21 in Milan to present a new interpretation of the Amaretto collection.

The #specialedition was inspired by art, by some art movements in particular that have influenced the stylistic choices of the #sicis designers, which were transferred through the tesserae to peerless mosaics.The tesserae are for the #sicis a language able to impress the material plastic strength and colour. The glass tiles, like brushstrokes, form distinctive designs. Hence the transition to fabric to transform theseworks into exclusive textures. Artistic clothes, perfect for a playful armchair such as Amaretto.

The designers explored four different themes.

Dripping is a technique born from Action Painting, the famous artistic current spread around the 1940s, whose best-known exponent was Jackson Pollock. Dripping, the action of randomly and instinctivelydripping colour onto the canvas represents absolute creative freedom, expressed through stronggestures. The full castings of colour naturally recalled the materiality and chromatic density of the glassfrom which the tesserae are made.

MATIS. Here it was Henry Matisse's paper cutouts that inspired the creatives of #sicis. The artist createdsome of his famous collage techniques, speaking precisely of - painting with scissors- and - cuttingdirectly in colour -. He believed that some traits of childhood ingenuity remained present in each of useven in adulthood and expressed themselves through artistic techniques related to manual skills, such ascollage.

For #sicis it was natural to associate those gestures with mosaic art, which is characterized by twofundamental elements: the cutting of the glass tiles, which is handmade by the mosaic masters, and themaking of the work. Even in the fabric has been maintained a link with intuitive manual skills, which has itsroots in childhood.

PURE. Here the idea becomes from an abstract, essential, pure current, such as Suprematism. Anyreference to reality was completely eliminated, and the work was based exclusively on colour and lines.From this concept were forged mosaic graphics, compositions based on contrasting colours and different shapes tiles. For the designers, a fascinating and evocative world to explore and an arrival point in whichmosaic art is free from the more known forms.

Amapolas takes ideas from some contemporary art movements that interpret the world of Nature. The theme developed is a fantastic nature, out of reality, characterized by very bright and vibrant colours, interpreted in a modern key through the ancient art of mosaic then translated into the fabric.
