Through the skin
Creazione: settembre 2017
Tema:
Quasi invisibile, quasi volesse nascondersi. C’è e non c’è, compare e scompare… con quel suo taglio sottile e delicato. Come un sorriso che spunta sulla dura scorza della pelle invecchiata dagli anni e dalle fatiche. Confuso tra pieghe e smagliature, tra vecchie cuciture che cedono al tempo.
A tratti sembra una ferita, ma non lo è: è un sorriso, un timido sorriso… a fior di pelle…
Almost invisible, almost as if it wanted to hide. There is and there is not, appears and disappears... with that slim and delicate cut. Like a smile that shines out of the tough skin of old age and fatigue. Confused between folds and stretch marks, between old seams that surrender to time.
At times it looks like a wound, but it is not: it's a smile, a shy smile... through the skin...

Antonio Fumagalli was born in Mariano C.se, lives and works in Brianza in Giussano.
For years he has combined architecture with art and teaching.
His research allowed him to experiment and subsequently create an approach to art and a personal style that have as their distinctive feature the use of an ancient but absolutely innovative material in the artistic field: leather.
The study and in-depth knowledge of this material and its processing techniques have led to a purely artistic use of leather. The piece of leather is no longer used as a simple support material for bags, straps, etc., but as an instrument of expression, like oil colors for the painter or marble for the sculptor.
His works, as he himself claims, should not just be looked at: they should be touched, enjoyed and perceived directly by the observer.
In addition to personal exhibitions, the artist has participated in various group exhibitions in Milan, Turin, Rome, Naples, Monza, Novara, Livorno, San Marino, in Trentino, Veneto and abroad: Lugano, London... His works are exhibited in: Milan, Monza, Rho (Mi), Uboldo di Saronno (Va), Carate B.za (Mb), Giussano (Mb), Seregno (Mb), Rovereto (Tn).
He is among the permanent artists of the Weart Gallery in Uboldo, Saronno (Va).
