The Wild Side of Pino

As promised, here is another installment on the wonderful Pino Pascali.

After exploring his adventures in advertising, I am dedicating this post

to the animal-themed artworks that he created between 1962 and 1965.

 Works from the Africa series, mixed media on acetate, 1964

In the same period, Pascali designed this panel for a mosaic at the FAO headquarters in Rome.

See you again soon with Pino's very Pop sculptures!

Bric-à-brac Creatures

 Many thanks to Miquel Aparici for writing and inviting me into his magical world.

Just looking at his artworks makes me happy, hope to see them in person someday! 

Miquel's wonderful recycled sculptures are assemblages of disparate vintage materials

that he collects from junkyards and antique sellers. He then catalogues, stores and 
transforms them in his workshop located inside an old industrial ship near Barcelona.

Thanks to La Factoría Plástica and pad blog for the studio photos.

A fantastic box of toys made for a lucky someone called Lucas. 

On Miquel's website you can also find his series of animals painted with coffee, 

sugar and a teaspoon. And check out his blog to get the latest news!
