'Aggese Still life' Latest work made fo @museoaaaperto , located in the town of Aggius, in northern Sardinia. The area is known for its handmade weaving tradition, as well as the banditry phenomenon, spread across centuries during spanish and savoy rule over the island. The painting features such defining local traits –such as a carpet in the making serving both as subject and environment and a photo of the female bandit Paola Argiolas– in a still life composition that uses the juxtaposition of tradition and contemporaneity to create a bond between old and new, a subtle line going from handcraft to banditry, to even marking the urban landscape. Thanks to all the lovely folks who supported, kept hydrated, fed and tipsy me, @robertociredz @andreacasciu and @simonatavassi 🤙 — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/A7yYFKV
