At Poggio a Caiano, in the province of Prato, there is a basketball court that has been transformed into a work of art. The project is co-financed by the Regional Council of the Tuscany Region and aims to redevelop the urban area following the participatory progress of “La città colorata” (The Colored City), realized in collaboration with the Tuscany Region.

The artwork, created on a resin surface, is called “Still Life” and was made by Tellas and 2Bleene, curated by Gian Guido Grassi and produced by the cultural association “StART – Open your eyes.”

 “Tellas and 2Bleene painted together. The two artists are not only a professional couple but also in life. They were inspired by the museum of ‘Still Life,’ reproducing plants, flowers, and color shades found in the works preserved inside the Medici villa. For example, the blue color recalls the skies that serve as a backdrop to the elements of nature, which are arranged similarly to real characters, as if they were ladies or knights,” says the project curator.
