Carla Tolomeo is an atypical artist in the arts field. Born as a painter, she owes most of her fame to artworks, which interplay the world of furniture with imagination.
In the sculptures by Carla Tolomeo there is de Chirico’s school, whose studio she has attended since she was a child. There is the lesson of Japanese painting and of her first paintings in which a chair or couch is always present; there is the sense of a different, free and colorful world, evoking an unreal and fantastic nature; and there is the desire for eroticism conveyed by glossy and precious fabrics. These creations are both objects to lay on and works of art to admire in a jubilation of brocades and velvets, featuring imaginative birds, enormous roses, butterflies, and other happy symbols. In line with her long-term path stud with international successes that opened up to her the doors of museums, galleries and renowned collectors, today Carla Tolomeo is at Superdesign show with her latest collection Mirabilia, she has specifically created. A presence shared with her friends David and Gianni Overi from Formitalia, who are the sponsors of the exhibition.
