Mr. Savethewall - Astro Kiss Me - Sagittarius

The artwork by Mr. Savethewall, Astro Kiss Me - Sagittarius, is a limited edition screenprint on paper, with 100 copies featuring metallic inserts.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) are known for their free spirit, optimism, and adventurous nature. They love exploring new horizons, both physical and intellectual, and are always seeking new experiences. They are sincere and generous, but can sometimes be too blunt or impatient. Their positive energy and desire to discover the world make them fun and stimulating companions.

The sign that teaches me to achieve goals. A centaur, half man and half horse, with the inevitable bow and arrows, one perfectly hitting the center of the target. A classic image and a great source of inspiration for me. - Mr. Savethewall

Created in 2024, the screenprint measures 25x25 cm.

The Astro Kiss Me Series

The Astro Kiss Me series, composed of 12 artworks, is a tribute to the millennia-old influence of the stars on our lives. Each zodiac sign is represented with a screenprint that reflects not only the traditional characteristics linked to the elements (fire, earth, air, water) but also a modern and ironic interpretation that highlights the duality and nuances of astrological symbols. Each print is produced in a limited edition of 100 copies, personally numbered and signed by the artist, making each piece a treasure for collectors and art enthusiasts.

In his interpretation, Mr. Savethewall plays with vibrant colors and stylized shapes to create works that capture the essence of each sign. His screenprints, midway between pop and abstract art, invite the viewer to reflect on the symbolism behind each constellation, offering a visual journey that blends astrology and art in a narrative that speaks to both the heart and the mind. The entire project becomes an opportunity to explore how the zodiac signs not only define personal traits but are also powerful visual symbols that span culture and history, reinterpreted in a modern and provocative way.

MR. SAVETHEWALL BIOGRAPHY

Pierpaolo Perretta, aka Mr. Savethewall, is an Italian artist from Como. Mr. Savethewall was not immediately born as an artist. In fact, he began his career in a very different world from the artistic one, where he also became an important manager. As time goes by, however, he begins to feel the need for a change, to finally put his great creativity and talent to good use.

Moved by his great passion for art and, in particular, for street art, he therefore decided to devote himself full-time to this new activity. In 2013, he gave up a secure and well-paid job to express his vision of the world and society through art.

Mr. Savethewall immediately proves to be a different kind of street artist. In fact, he declares himself against the defacement of walls and, for this reason, decides not to create his murals directly on the walls, but to use easily removable adhesive tape. He also uses recyclable and environmentally friendly materials, such as cardboard. This gave rise to his stage name, which literally means Mr. Save the Wall, fully declaring his desire to protect urban decorum.

MR. SAVETHEWALL ARTWORKS: AN IRONIC INTERPRETATION OF SOCIETY

In just a short time, Mr. Savethewall proves to be an artist of high calibre and, above all, multifaceted. It is no coincidence, in fact, that he is gaining an increasing foothold in the art scene. In his works, Mr. Savethewall makes use of languages from street art and communication, as well as from the latest trends in contemporary art, recalling in his works famous artists to whom he looks up to: first and foremost, Banksy and Damien Hirst.

In Mr. Savethewall's works, it is clear to perceive an interpretation of today's society in an ironic and critical key. His works indeed present strong, direct and targeted messages. Mr. Savethewall's aim is not only to communicate his personal vision of society to his audience, but also to convey messages that are as clear as they are provocative, prompting the viewer to reflect personally on the world around him and its contradictions. From this comes the use of famous and immediately recognisable images and subjects, to which he also adds texts. In doing so, he not only makes the message even easier to grasp, but also leaves no room for misinterpretation.

WORKS MR. SAVETHEWALL: THE CONCEPT OF DÉTOURNEMENT

The practice of so-called conceptual détournement has been known in the art world since the time of the Dadaists. This term refers to an artist's takeover of an existing image or work, of which he or she distorts the original meaning and gives it a new and often opposite meaning. This practice has been assimilated and internalised by Mr. Savethewall who uses it in his works.

In order to express his light but effective irony towards contemporary society, the artist draws inspiration from personalities from the world of culture, cinema and art history, which are re-proposed in a completely different light that moves away from the original purpose of these subjects and their meaning or function.

In addition, Mr. Savethewall's works do not fail to recall the religious and political spheres. Regardless of the chosen medium, therefore, his works all present strong, direct and targeted messages.

THE ICONIC SUBJECT: THE FROG BY MR. SAVETHEWALL

Famous all over the world is Mr. Savethewall's depiction of the well-dressed and elegant contemporary man who, however, has the appearance of a Frog. The artist's aim is to warn of the falsity of the famous fairy tale of the Princess and the Frog: the frog, even if he turns into a prince, is still a frog. The true moral of the tale is therefore that, as the artist himself states, 'a frog, even if well dressed, is and always remains a frog'.

But not only that: as anticipated, the artist does not remain superficial to his interpretations. The frog-man thus also becomes a representation of his acquaintances, real people, who pose by showing off their Rolexes and walking around well-dressed. In reality, beneath the appearance that often deceives, these people show themselves for what they really are: frogs.

This critical reflection gave rise to the famous work entitled Kiss Me, which has now become one of his best known and most iconographic works.

CUPID AND PSYCHE IN A CONTEMPORARY VERSION

Another of Mr. Savethewall's most recognisable works is his reinterpretation of the famous sculpture by master Canova, Cupid and Psyche.

In this case too, the artist Mr. Savethewall inserts a message into the work that is both ironic and critical. The work depicts, in fact, the two protagonists of Canova's Cupid and Psyche intent, however, on taking a selfie, an emblematic symbol of today's relationship with smartphones.

THE IPAD GOD: A CRITIQUE OF THE POWER OF TECHNOLOGY

Mr. Savethewall has created artworks with a very strong and provocative message, at times almost dramatic in how well it reflects today's reality.

The subject of these works is a small girl with blond hair who, bent over an Ipad, prays to it as if it were a divinity. The dramatic part of this work is the purpose of the little girl's prayer: to ask the Ipad to give her back her father, who is too busy with work to dedicate any time to her. Mr. Savethewall wants to awaken the consciences of all those people who do not realise that time spent working leads them to neglect their affections.

THE BIRDS OF MR. SAVETHEWALL AND THE SOCIAL WORLD

Among the most popular subjects of Mr. Savethewall's works are definitely the little birds. These two subjects, one real and the other the symbol of Twitter, try to communicate with each other but without success.

The meaning of these works is the irresolvable incommunicability between the real and virtual worlds, unable to meet in a common point.
