About The Artwork

Here a mural made in a Town in Abruzzo, Italy. The town, called Aielli, hosts the best street artists in the world amongst them this work by Riccardo Matlakas. Matlakas, on the occasion of the 2019 edition of Borgo Universo. In fact, every symbol of its wall comes from a private meeting or a conversation with the locals. Many symbols still tell of the sky and the universe. Ice cream, on the other hand, is a recurring symbol in the works and performances of the artist who in some way wants to talk about environmental overheating, the melting of glaciers, and the environmental problems that affect us very closely. Finally, the last symbol recounts the experience lived by the artist himself in Aielli: the world is struck by a large melting ice cream, but Aielli is instead a piece of the world that detaches itself from the rest with its tower of the stars, as a sort of a happy island, far from world catastrophes.

Riccardo Matlakas (b.1992, Naples, Italy) is a London based multidisciplinary artist working internationally. He is best known for his multi-talented capacity in different art forms including performance, dance, painting and sculpture. He obtained a degree in Sculpture at the University of Fine Arts in Naples and an MA in Social Sculpture at Oxford Brookes University. Riccardo values the context he works in as the main inspiration for his work, finding a common ground with each culture he connects with. He creates cathartic actions and performances in the fore-front of current political, environmental and spiritual concerns by digging for the essence of humanity beyond race and custom. The artist often collects relics from his performances which later become objects of memory and contemplation. Riccardo Matlakas has performed and shown his work extensively in Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Palestine, Jordan, South Africa, Iran, Armenia, Russia, Myanmar, Mauritius and South Korea.
