“Give ‘Em Props!”—Haring and Cava by bo130


/>Is there ONE painting, sticker, stencil, sculpture, or piece of
architecture that truly inspires you in your daily work?


/>“There are many things inspiring. the things I do these vary between music,
art, films, food, cultures, smells…..etc. but I guess one image that really
stuck to my mind since I was little is a painting collaboration between keith
haring and gianfranco gorgoni. I like the mixture of photography and paint and I
guess thats why my paintings explores similar blends of mediums.

/>Do you have a favorite piece that you’ve cut out and have hanging on
your wall?


“I’ve got two original cards from Osvaldo
Cavandoli, in art CAVA himself, the creator of “la linea” a very popolar cartoon
animation from the end of the 60’s

And, for this one piece,
what is it about the piece that brings you in - is it the color, the lines, the
crazy figure, the movement, the composition, etc?


I guess
meeting the man helped to love him much more but if you see the animation you
will be amazed how simple are the drawings and at the same time how expressive
it’s the main character. you don’t need words to understand whats going
on…he’s the master!!!
