Debut Art is pleased to announce that we now represent artist Gianluca Folì.
Gianluca Folì is an award-winning Italian illustrator who lives and works in Rome. He likes pizza but doesn't play the mandolin.
In more than 20-years of his career, Gianluca has pursued a path of study, of gaze, of search for his own intimate vocabulary. He explores the connection with things, visually referencing the objective correlative in the poetry of Thomas Eliot and Eugenio Montale which clearly represents emotions through things and the breaking of the boredom of everyday life.
Gianluca's images stem from this narrative, transformed into shapes and colours by an alchemical process, with elegant momentum and modulation of the visual. The creative force of his images is balanced by a tightrope walking technique, in a happy and magical balance between drawing and color, between reality and the surreal. The arrival at a more direct code, made of synthesis and simplification, suggesting and evoking rather than simply representing.

Receipts I keep on my office corkboard, and a comparison demo of APD print quality (bad)(<- unfair)(<- that was totally fair this rasterized Fantasque Sans Mono so bad it gave it serifs)
[Left: Epson TM-U675 via ESC/POS, Top Right: Epson TM-U675 via Epson Advanced Print Driver (rasterized postscript), Bottom Right: Epson TM-U375 via ESC/POS]
(image has ALT text, however the text on the receipts would overflow the ALT text and so has been included below the cut.)
The left-hand receipt reads:
C'mon and take a walk with me
you ain't got nothing else to do
the stars are out
let's talk about
the dreams we'll make come true
So what, we can't get off the block?
neveryoumind, Paris, France
the night is young
and full of fun
given half a chance
A full moon,
a fool's heart,
that's a pretty good start!
A full moon,
a fool's heart,
and Paris, France
We'll build a castle in the air
and live a lifetime in a kiss
shut your eyes
and we will ride
like beggars on a wish
Because the world is where we are
and right now that's you and [the lyrics cut off at the bottom of the image.]
The top-right receipt reads:
C'mon and take a walk with me
you ain't got nothing else to do
the stars are out
let's talk about
the dreams we'll make come true
The bottom-right receipt reads:
For Sale Baby Shoes Worn For But The Briefest Of Moments Before The Baby Was Obliterated And Sent To Hell Forever
