Paint your love / Sailing
Any’s window cleaners are armed with brushes and spray paint. They climb up the walls of houses to restore colour to a real world which is often coated with the grey dust of disillusionment. They bring a new world to life in colour via symbols which are as simple as they are direct: a heart and a boat. In an instant they take us back to that feeling of pure and complete happiness that we all felt as children when we dropped a paper boat onto water.
It is a tribute to the sea as a place of the heart, then, to the freedom it represents and, at the same time, that pure, innocent happiness which triggers memories in us.
Any / Street Artist
Any is an artist who only recently turned his hand to street art. His name communicates the great love for the Big Apple which permeates all his work but also a desire to be ‘just anyone’ in a New York crowd. His faces are symbols of the great city. His goal is to share his passion.
After graduating from Istituto d’Arte Pietro Selvatico he attended fine arts academy and then Venice University’s architecture faculty. He began painting at school, taking part in a number of exhibitions, including Bevilacqua La Masa, in both Padua and Venice and, more recently, the Super Walls Street Art Biennial. The style he debuted with was watercolour and he then moved onto oil painting at the Busan and Galuppo ateliers. He later moved onto acrylic, progressively eliminating colour’s material quality and then on again to pure charcoal. During his academy years he studied under Ken Damy and Ernesto Francalanci, thanks to whom he fell in love with photography and subsequently went into professional photography.
Partly as a result of his continual trips to New York, he has recently gone back to painting, a return to his roots, with charcoal now enriched with colour. It was wandering around Bushwick, a Brooklyn district now something of an open air art gallery for street artists, that he fell in love with the work of the greats, and Kobra in particular. This led onto to his decision to ‘streetartise’ himself with work making use of the stencil technique.
Much of his art is inspired by his own photos. His are wide-ranging views encompassing a city and its symbols, with his attention then captured by a detail and a sudden focus on people and their lives told via an instant, an emotion. But it is in his fleeting and personal reflections that his vision opens up once more, and widens out to a focus on the social and civil themes which make New York a dazzling mirror of community life.
