Sfigati (1996-2020)
The artist creates three-dimensional images of unhappy situations, but still able to make people smile, linked to characters from popular culture. He finds himself sympathizing with the losers, the "bad guys" or the unfortunate ones. What happened to the Milka cow sisters who didn't have the same success? What has been done to other black chicks like Calimero? And if Topo Gigio were a simple mouse, would he have fallen into a trap?
