We’ve been talking about Art is Resistance for several weeks now, the charity project we’ve been treating since the health emergency put us on stand-by and changed our lives.
Our goal and that of all the artists involved, to date 23, is to be able to help the doctors and nurses of Lombardy region.
With the money we will get from the current auctions, and from those that have yet to begin, Lombardy will in fact purchase the equipment necessary for health facilities and staff to better treat the sick and limit the opportunities for contagion.
Last week we auctioned off the works of Mauro Gatti, Marco Mazzoni, Riccardo Guasco, Bernulia, Canemorto and Lucio Schiavon on 32auctions, but this too will be full of artists, works, video making-of and even live.
The first artist of the new week will be Tellas, but while you’re waiting to see him working live on Instagram discover here something more about him and his art.
TELLAS – on the Instagram profile of Collater.al and on his profile from 15:00 of 20.04.2020
Tellas was born in 1985 in Cagliari, Sardinia. His artistic journey begins in the harsh lands where he grew up.
His work is a personal and intimate vision of the natural elements defining the landscape around him. Each piece is the result of a meditative process combining spatial qualities, shapes and species of the surrounding environment. He expresses his style through various means. His use of drawing, painting, printing techniques, installations and audio- video production confirms his aim to create and experiment with different art forms.
He participated in many international events. Among the most remarkable there are the La Tour Paris Project, 2013, considered one of the most innovative contemporary art projects worldwide, and Artmossphere, the first Street Art Biennale held in Moscow in 2014, featuring 70 artists from all over the world.
In 2015 his work appeared in The Urban Contemporary Art Guide, edited by the Graffiti Art Magazine, where he ranked amongst the world’s best 100 emerging artists of 2015. The same year he completed an extensive public artwork in Cagliari, Italian Capital of Culture back then. In Rome he took part in Here, Now, sixth edition of the city’s Outdoor Festival, while his personal show Clima Estremo was held at Wunderkammern Gallery. The following year he completed several important public artworks in Spain, Finland, and Australia, respectively in Madrid, Helsinki, Albany and Perth. In 2017 he was in Australia again, working at the mural The Barrier in Townsville, Queensland. Later that year, this piece inspired his exhibition Tropico, held at the Magma Gallery, Bologna.
His artistic production also includes significant partnerships with important Italian fashion brands, including Ferragamo and Marni. In particular, the multiple collaborations with Marni resulted in the documentary A grande terra do Sertão, presented at the 56th Venice Biennale. Besides Rome, Palermo and other Italian cities, some of his latest public artworks can be found in Atlanta (USA), Klaipeda (Lithuania), Delhi (India), Montreal (Canada) and Kaohsiung (Taiwan).
