“I am 50. Hard for me to believe it, I say this because I’m still the same, I still have my Dodgers baseball cap, coloured hands... I still get excited when I am given a new Hot Wheels as a present, I still get emotional when I look back at photos of my friends who have gone away too soon; this is the spirit that guided me up to now and it’s the same one that brought me back to MyOwnGallery of Superstudio, with my solo exhibition...”. “THE PIECE (PEACE) MAKER” it is not just an exhibition, but a celebration of “Underground Culture” by Milanese artist Flycat, an indisputable forefather of the first generation of Writing and Hip Hop culture in Italy. To celebrate his 50th birthday and 36 years of artistic career, 100 art works including paintings, sculptures, drawings, and much more, narrate the story and philosophy of the “Urban Art” cultural movement, with the important curatorship by Francesca Alfano Miglietti (FAM). The theme of Letters inserted into an urban fabric - never mind if in Milan or in New York - takes shape through different art works such as urban maps that narrate overlapping stories. “When I used to sneak in the undergrounds of my city, it was like entering a magic world, a world of my own, where I was able to forget, even if for just a moment, my problems and immerse myself in it consciously and physically with my fantasy, and there, do the most beautiful thing that made me happy: paint.”
