Designers FRANCESCO MACCAPANI MISSONI

Francesco Maccapani Missoni uses the colored paper ribbons and satin ribbons to create his hand-woven polychromatic textures, fixed on squared frames and then lacquered with a brush.  Materic paintings that articulate tones and shades according to multiple schemes.  Heir to an Italian prêt-à-porter family intrinsically linked to color, Francesco, born and raised among the legendary multicolored striped and zigzag motifs, textures and "put together" of Missoni sweaters and fabrics, thus conceived a pictorial language in line with his imprinting at least as much as his personal one.  a style exercise that requires time and concentration, great precision and patience.  And appears to be emblematic of an increasingly free practice of school training and professional definitions.
