Mattia Biagi, "A Little Bird Told Me", Desk

About the Item

This sculptural desk from Mattia Biagi's Metropolitan Sets series expresses the personal investigation of the artist straddling life and death, nature and civilization, preservation and transformation. The images used to build the bodies of the pieces are references emerging from a lifetime of photographic clippings accumulated in the midst of magazines, pornography, art history, and personal photos. After having been directly printed on wood with a multilayered ink process, the images are cut out and assembled onto a classic furniture form. This anthology of memories, visions, and experiences allows Biagi to draw directly from his subconscious to create a three-dimensional statuary collage. This unique piece measures 24'' D x 70'' W x 30” H (67” overall).
