Naples: Classical Street Art by Ernest Pignon-Ernest

Naples, with its three thousand years of history, is the perfect setting for the street art of Ernest Pignon-Ernest. This Nicoise artist was inspired by painters Caravaggio, Ribera & Guarino each of whom had been influenced by the history and faded beauty of this ancient city state. Ernest has used the the tattered and torn facades of these elegant, decayed buildings to infuse his classical designs and biblical images. Creating a living artwork that finds expression in the daily lives of the Neapolitans during Easter.

Ernest revisited Naples 5 times over 12 years bringing his unique art to the cityscape and creating a visual feast that is in perfect harmony with its setting.

BellisVintage Homes has been designing interiors in London and the South of France (where the company is now based) for the last 15 years. The design ethos blends together the best from traditional and contemporary London/France and Italy. This fusion developed after a long previous career in the diplomatic corps and also working with influential figures on the London arts (V&A), business and social circuit.

The BellisVintage spirit is about creating an environment which wraps you in warmth and expression where you never tire of seeing something new in the detail. It is a complete anathema to the current trend of minimalism and it’s cold, stark environments.

Zilda a Napoli

Schermata 2014-01-04 alle 20.47.41Zilda a Napoli

“From October 2011 to June 2012, Žilda brings his “Fragiles Fabulae” project to Naples. The parthenopean city becomes a hell inhabited by wounded angels ; who knows what happened to them but what better place could there be to heal their wounds? Eleven paper, oil and acrylic works revisiting and contextualizing paintings dear to the artist; eleven works of an aesthetics of wandering, from dawn to dusk, from uptown to port, from the dark belly to the light-burnt outskirts, a wandering carried along by the furious torpor and the circular energy of the city. Eleven “mises en scène” of a politics of the tragic and of the bodies’ sensuality in the capital of Punchinello, of his comic and ambiguous genius.”
