In the "Toys" series, Filippo Tincolini delves into the rich universe of manga style, transforming animated characters into a sort of universal visual alphabet. These figures, symbols of a global pop culture, evoke a shared cultural heritage and embody an innocence that makes them a non-threatening tool for approaching art.
With "Toys," Tincolini aims to intercept a broad and diverse audience, using the universal iconography of characters to establish a direct and instinctive connection with observers. His sculptures leverage instinctive empathy, drawing the audience in with the familiarity of forms, their playful charm, and the ability to subtly reveal tastes and personal preferences.
These works are not just aesthetic representations; they serve as a bridge between contemporary art and popular culture, offering deeper reflection on how art can influence and enrich our everyday understanding of the world. In "Toys," Tincolini demonstrates how art can be both a means of personal expression and a tool for cultural connection, inviting viewers to explore and reinterpret their own relationship with the pop images that permeate our lives.
