Street Art in Florence - Mr Wany, abandoned on the sidewalk
Another work by Andrea Sergio, known as Mr Wany,
Unlike the
previous one, The Metal Girl, this is
a writer's arm holding a spray can,
the tools of the trade. This too looks like metal, but the section at the elbow
where the arm begins has an interior like crumpled newspapers, refined by a
yellow and black butterfly. As with The Metal
Girl, the arm also seems abandoned, thrown away, as if cut off and left in
a pool of blood on a sidewalk. Perfect technique, lights and shadows, colors,
perspective and relief. Perhaps it could be titled: Our art despised, like garbage. Free interpretations, as always.
Florence via Mayer, Mazzoni School.
