Miroglio Textile new artist's fabrics to debut in China

Loris Cecchini

Born in Milan in 1969, Loris Cecchini lives and works in Berlin. Among the most internationally acclaimed Italian artists in the last decade, he has shown his work all over the world with solo exhibitions in prestigious museums. In his work, photography, electronic collages, drawings, sculpture and installation blend into unitary poetics which hinges on transfiguration. Both in his photographs and sculptures, the revision of a broad idea of "model" is achieved through reworking familiar shapes of our everyday life transferred into an altered vision that challenges the viewer's perception. The most interesting aspect of Cecchini's artistic production is his usual aptitude in moving across the boundary between natural and artificial, between mass production and poetic suspension.

Francesco Simeti

Born in Palermo in 1968, and graduated in Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, Francesco Simeti lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Among the most internationally acclaimed Italian artists, Simeti is currently engaged in a number of public art projects in the United States, including the Brooklyn subway stop in New York, and has made site-specific installations in various museum spaces. His work is inspired by the ambiguity in printing that characterizes the relationship between form and content, by creating a kind of continuous and endlessly changeable landscape. His research emphasizes on the one hand that interest for the aesthetic factor that threatens to deny the actual content of the images, on the other hand the risk of flattening brought about by the excess of visual information. The first impact with his ornamental patterns brings about an aesthetic pleasure and a reassuring feeling; on looking closer, however, one cannot fail to notice unexpected details.
