Franco Mazzucchelli, ''The inflatables''

The inflatable pictures by Franco Mazzucchelli (1939), made with the films QLA - Laccato, QSP - Mirofilm, RNB - Nebbia, PSS - Superscreen 3D, QTR - Crystalline, QGH - Ghiaccio are the ironic and ludic representation of the art in the age of consumerism. Ephemeral and less innocent and exclusively decorative of what they could seem, they are the symbol of the 'use and throw' that characterizes our epoch.

Franco Mazzucchelli formed himself in the multiform area of the conceptual art of the years '60, and followed runs of search on materials not traditional for the sculpture.

His artistic production was relatively characterized since the beginning by the use of synthetic materials linked to industrial production to the contemporaneity and recent tradition, whose knowledge passed through objects of common use.

The materials have been for Mazzucchelli object of search and experimentation with which he contributed to extend the formal revolution of the first avant-garde to wider aesthetical and social circles.
