Biography
In the early 1970s, Mario Schifano experienced a crisis in relation to painting, a crisis that coincided with a general reconsideration of pictorial tradition, triggered by the success of conceptual neo-avant-gardes. The artist then developed a completely new imaginary, based on the media images constantly streaming on the always-on television screens at home and in his studio.
With his particular multimedia sensitivity, Schifano photographed images of all kinds transmitted by television, extracting and reformulating the image through an operation that blends photography and painting. He worked, as always, with immediacy and speed. The photo passed through his painterly manual dexterity and was captured in time. That concept of the "flow of images" which constitutes the life and art of Schifano was perfected and clarified: reality constantly mediated by a filter, transforming it into an image.
Mario Schifano was born on September 20, 1934, in Homs, Italian Libya. After the end of the war, he returned to Rome. Considered by many as a leading figure of Italian pop art, he was seen as Andy Warhol's heir, representing a cornerstone of contemporary Italian and European art. A passionate student of new painting techniques, in the early 1970s he began transferring images seen and photographed on TV onto emulsified canvases, isolating these visual fragments from the narrative rhythm of the sequences to which they belonged. In the following years, Schifano, already fascinated by media communication and contemporary icons created by television, was among the first to experiment with hybrids between painting and other art forms such as music, cinema, video, and photography. In fact, he used computers to create artworks and managed to elaborate images from the computer and transfer them back onto emulsified canvases (the "Computerized Canvases").

Mario Schifano
Mario Schifano (1934-1968) is considered one of the most significant artists of Italian postmodernism. He worked in numerous media throughout his career, but is perhaps best known for his collages consisting of advertising, scrap paper and painted components. During the latter half of his career, Schifano’s work became increasingly political as he explored issues such as the Vietnam War and widespread social unrest through both film and photography. Born in 1934 in Libya, Schifano and his family relocated to Rome after World War II. With little interest in formal schooling, Schifano took up painting independently and began producing mixed-media works, primarily utilizing monochromatic canvases with glued wrapping paper and stenciling applied. These works garnered critical acclaim, and were followed by a number of exhibitions both in Italy and the US. In 1962 he was included in New Realists, an important group show at the Sidney Janis Gallery in New York alongside artists such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Often employing elements of pop culture, such as brand logos and advertisements, his work is largely considered within the context of Pop art. Although Schifano was consistently productive and critically acclaimed, he struggled with drug addiction for most of his life, a habit that resulted in multiple arrests, which led the artist to label his career maldoto – cursed. He died at the age of 63 in Rome in 1998 (Ref: Sotheby's). His artworks have sold for over 1M€ at Sotheby's.

Alessandro Guerriero Painting for Alchimia
By Alessandro Guerriero
Located in Milan, Italy
Acrylic painting on canvas by Alessandro Guerriero for Alchimia in 2019.
Signed and original label.
Biography:
In 1976 Alessandro and Adriana Guerriero established Alchimia, the first example of manufacturing designers in Milan. In 1978 and 1979 they presented the Bau haus and Bau haus II collections. Lamps, armchairs, chairs, tables, cabinets, and so on. Artists involved: Alessandro Mendini, Ettore Sottsass, Bruno and Giorgio Gregori, Michele De Lucchi, Andrea Branzi, UFO, Paola Navone, Daniela Puppa, Franco Raggi. The prevalent decorative material is laminated plastic. Alchimia’s culture, which is against the Italian design (Casabella magazine) changes the base of all previous design theories, resulting in a profound and radical change in the mindset of architects.
Visual Alphabets, Redesign, Trivial Design, Cosmetics and Sentimental Robot are the slogans underlying the exuberant and vast production of Alchimia city. In the theoretical manifesto of the group, Alessandro Mendini writes “Alchimia is not interested in disciplines because they are considered to be within their rules. Indeed, it is important to look into the existing large free spaces between them. Alchimia weighs the assumption that conception and confused production methods should coexist where craftsmanship, manufacturing, information technology, techniques and current and obsolete materials can get mixed up. “They are handcrafted objects, recycled, mass, improbable, provocative, Kitsch, all very theory-laden. It operates and experiences in many sectors: the Pensione Ideale (Franco Raggi), the Copertine di Domus (Occhiomagico), the Abito Sonoro and the performance of Persone Dipinte (Anna Gili), the Stilismo della Moda (Cinzia Ruggeri...
