Some artworks deserve to be collected carefully, but some artists go the opposite way, hoping that the works can follow natural changes and be discarded without any regrets. Roman artist Tommaso Guerra’s street blackboards are in this spirit, painting directly. On the sidewalk, without any isolation and protection measures around it, it’s okay for passers-by to lie down in the middle and take photos with it. It can be said to be a very casual and free creative act!
As an artist, Tommaso Guerra can be said to be quite versatile. He has a little knowledge of installation art, visual design, font design, interior furniture and street graffiti. In particular, he is good at alphabet blackboard writing and has become his personal orthography. Marks, many restaurants or stores will specially ask him to design a set of changing fonts and draw them on the wall. Recently, Tommaso Guerra has moved the creative setting from the store wall to the roadside sidewalk, leaving a 500x500 cm large logo, which was photographed from the air. As you can see from the picture, this logo is exactly the "&" symbol. It has been redesigned and turned into a totem full of natural flavor.
He believes that the essence of this creation is not the beautiful totems or the skills of writing on the blackboard, but the action of "drawing on the ground". He is inspired by the street chalk graffiti in Italy, where people draw portraits on the roadside. Many works The exquisiteness is not inferior to classical paintings, but people do not deliberately protect the works, and they fall off after being washed away by rain. It symbolizes the emotion of living in the present and not being obsessed with the past. Tommaso Guerra was inspired by it, so he hoped to continue this spirit into his works. , I didn’t expect that simple street graffiti could have such philosophical thinking. Sure enough, the artist’s mind is never a straight line to the end!
