“HUMUS-Cerchio G37” is Italian artist Giulio Vesprini‘s newest creation, a visually appealing mural painted for the new FUM (Fermo Urban Museum) Festival in Fermo, Italy.
Titled HUMUS, Vesprini’s mural was painted at Liceo Artistico Preziotti-Licini in Fermo and is the first piece of the FUM festival. As explained by the artist, HUMUS must be seen as a creative start point, whose meaning points to the energy and hunger for knowledge young people have, the soil of life.
The mural is characteristic of Vesprini’s work who, with a background in architecture and graphic design, successfully merges the world of graphics and architecture, giving shape to what he calls ‘Archigrafia’. His work is often composed by two main elements: geometry and abstract shapes, and botanical elements. These botanical elements, are often wild flowers and plants, but also more abstract depictions like here. All of them symbolise the strength of nature and its ability to prevail and regain that once was lost.
About the artist
Giulio Vesprini, born 1980 in Civitanova Marche (Italy), is an artist and graphic designer who works in a variety of media. He attended two major schools: The Academy of Fine Arts in Macerata and the Departement of Architecture in Ascoli Piceno. Through the years, he has obtained various awards and publications related to his graphic design, wall paint and illustration work. With a subtle minimalistic approach, Vesprini focuses on the idea of ‘public space’ and more specifically on spaces where graphic and wall can be united at any given moment: the non-private space and space that is economically uninteresting can become utility space. His artworks are often about contact with architecture and graphic elements creating the concept of “Archigraphia”.
Giulio Vesprini is also the creative director of FUM.
