The ORTICANOODLES collective has created a monumental work of street art: apublic artwork that revisits Michelangelo Buonarroti’s Tondo Doni.
On a 35-meter wall, a true work of creative storytelling and strategic innovation, social and technological renewal was created in a week’s work by four people and forty 3.5-meter-long dusting matrices. Twenty-one special colors were used on 35 kilos of smog-capturing Airlite, and now the work can be seen at 504 Ugo Ojetti Street, within the Roman district of Talenti, where there is a 42-hectare park with which the Street Art work seems to converse. The work was commissioned by Impreme Spa as the beginning of a larger journey of public and participatory art.
The Tondo Doni is the only certain work on a moving support by Michelangelo and is of fundamental importance in the history of art, as it lays the foundations of Mannerism. The revisitation of the famous masterpiece emphasizes the vitality of nature in its totality, likened to a single living organism. Mary represents the unifying principle from which individual organisms take shape, which, while articulating and differentiating from each other, are linked by auniversal Soul.
The work, consistent with its concept, was created using a reinterpretation of the Renaissance spolvero technique.
As mentioned, the creators of the monumental work of Street Art Anima Mundi - Tondo Doni are the ORTICANOODLES, pseudomino of the Italian artist duo formed by Wally and Alita: virtuosos of the stencil technique, they are among the first Italian performers to gain international recognition. They have exhibited abroad several times, representing Italian street art in the world, and in 2008 they participated with Freedom, a stencil painted on the walls of the Waterloo station tunnel, in the Cans Festival organized by Banksy in London. For years the collective has been engaged in the realization of participatory and public art projects that not only requalify, but also qualify and enhance neighborhoods and collective spaces with a particular attention to theenvironment as well, using, for example, smog-eating paints.
