The Work:
Mascagni Pop is a mural inspired by the great composer from Livorno by Uovo alla pop.
The mural creation was entrusted to a famous Spanish street artist, El Rey de la Ruina. The portrait originates from the tradition of portraiture that followed the composer’s fame both in his living time and after his death.
A large Mascagni with a hyper-contemporary cut with a bright color palette and a visionary composition made of distorted geometric figures that recall the Mascagni Terrace (a place dedicated to the composer) and the harp in the intermezzo of the Cavalleria Rusticana.
The andanti fluctuating curves of the large portrait become notes to listen to, looking at, expressing music, movement, personality, the essence of Pietro Mascagni, a star of the time, the man of the day, a timeless influencer.
The Artist:
El Rey de la Ruina is a Spanish artist. Through works in public spaces, he reveals his personal vision of society, iconic images that are sculpted into the retinas of passers-by through repetition and become vehicles of harsh and poetic messages.
