Mixed media on opal plexiglass.
Milan Flies High: series of works that the contemporary artist Carlo Massimo Franchi realizes on a surface of opal plexiglass, for the project of the same name Milano Vola Alto. Subject of the work is the skyline of Porta Nuova project, where Pelli Tower, also called Unicredit Tower because of the reknown italian bank that has there its headquartiers, stands out among all the other buildings. Franchi offers to the viewer a personal vision of all these buildings, that he outlines with well defined contours giving an idea of solidity and stability. The modern milanese skyline comes alive thanks to a learned use of colours, alternating warm and cold shades.
The work is signed on the 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.
