Francioni Mastromarino (1978) - Non è un gioco!

Our planet is not a football: the work tackles climate change, delivering a clear message: "Planet Earth is not a gameball". This contemporary sculpture by the artist couple Francioni Mastromarino depicts a football with relief continents, transformed into a globe with small cracks. A symbolic interpretation that fuses two images: the Earth, with the hexagons and pentagons characteristic of a football, all patinated in a rust effect thanks to iron powder embedded in the ceramic plaster. The authors denounce the disdainful behavior towards climate agreements, precisely now on the occasion of the World Cup hosted partly in the United States, highlighting the risk of treating climate change and the safeguarding of our only planet with superficiality as in a game. Genuine autograph of the authors. The materials used reflect a concrete commitment to the environment. The eco-sustainable mortars, inspired by green building, are mixed with rice husk, a by-product of the rice milling that Francioni Mastromarino has long used in their works and which, mixed with the mortars, guarantees the durability of the piece. This choice not only reduces environmental impact but also integrates the message of the work: respect for the planet must start from the smallest details. A sculpture with a strong visual and ethical impact, perfect for those who want a work of art that makes us reflect on the future of our world. The sculpture is the result of the synergy of two artists, Francioni and Mastromarino, a couple in art and love who have worked together for about 20 years in their studio in Pietrasanta, Tuscany.
