Beppe Francesconi “Il pensiero doppio e la leggerezza.” Oil and acrylic on panel 55.5 x 21.5 cm Signature, title, year and dedication on the back of the work Authentication on photo of the artist Professional shipping Cames with frame(like the photos) Beppe Francesconi Born in Marina di Massa on 15 April 1961, where he lives and works, shy and reserved, Francesconi is a teller of stories. A great lover of music and literature, he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Carrara when his painting had already begun its definitive path. In fact, B. Francesconi's art is characterized by a notable accentuation of fantastic motifs, a vision that reflects the territories of dreams, with a creativity outside the ordinary patterns. His painting finds the most congenial themes in blue and red, sunny colors, alternating with evocative nocturnes, where a sky full of stars becomes the backdrop for magical apparitions and mysterious evocations. The fantastic road allows the Tuscan author to achieve a feeling of escape and lightness, a refined evocation of the world. Elephants, rhinos, winged horses are symbols of a prevalence of playful motifs, of a fairy-tale vision, of nature looked at with amazement, through the eyes of a child. Francesconi's fairy tales and wild tales have their own truth, different ways of reading the world and its apparitions, mysterious tales of strange animals that play with space and time, creating magical agreements, impossible flights, unusual games. The central idea is that there is a different way to tell today's stories, relying on imagination, invention and magic.
