ILLUSTRATION IN ITALY NOW
GIANLUIGI TOCCAFONDO - LA BIENNALE DI VENEZIA - DESIGN FOR THE EXHIBITION OF CINEMATIC ART
COMING BACK FROM PITTI FRAGRANZE I FOUND A WONDERFUL ART STUDIO / GALLERY IN BOLOGNA DEDICATED TO GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION. SQUADRO STAMPERIA ON VIA NAZARIO SAURO IS A STUDIO COMPLETE WITH A BIG PRINTER, SHELVES OF LIQUID PIGMENT AND DRYNG RACKS FOR THE WORKS. THEY PRODUCE AMAZING QUALITY WORKS BY SOME OF THE BEST ILLUSTRATORS. IT IS RUN BY ARTISTS WHO WORK THERE, IN THE SPACE. SOMETIMES THEY HAVE GIGS BY MUSICIANS LINKED THE ILLUSTRATORS.
THE WORKS ARE PRINTED IN DEEP PIGMENTS ON THICK FABRIANO PAPER AND FINISHED BY HAND. THE QUALITY OF MATERIALS IS INTRINSIC TO THE QUALITY OF THE ART
