Michela Picchi. Stars

Banca Sistema hosts “STARS”, personal exhibition of Michela Picchi (Rome, 1987), young artist and illustrator who on this occasion exhibits her first pictorial works. Michela Picchi's personal exhibition is organized and promoted within the non-profit Banca SISTEMA ARTE project (bancasistemarte.it), from 9 February until May 2017.

Michela Picchi's expressive figure is characterized by images that blend fantastic visions and everyday life with a pop illustrative style, immediate and distinctly recognizable. In the visionary microcosm of his works, bright colors and some subjects recur in particular, like the tiger his alter-ego, little women or visual patterns.

In “STARS”, edited by Rossella Farinotti, in addition to these reference figures of his artistic career, Michela Picchi exhibits works specially created for this occasion during a residency in the United States at the Cleveland Foundation. Indeed, the staff welcomes you, even temporally, the "return" of the artist to Italy with a new body of work entirely on canvas characterized by a pictorial style with full colors and a strong visual impact. The exhibition therefore offers a complete cycle of both graphic works - prints and serigraphs that refer to the most well-known themes of Michela Picchi - and pictorial, which are presented to the public for the first time.
