Ex Ovo Omnia


Buona Pasqua / Happy Easter everyone!

He shares his vision of a booming chaotic world, extremely rich in visual quotes, with a fascinating mixture of old & new languages and media: screenprinting, chromolitography, cartoon, American pop culture, cinema and advertising, kitsch toys and traditional painting.
