Orticanoodles
Orticanoodles - Memory of Frida Kahlo - GO Gallery
Orticanoodles is the pseudonym for two young Italian artists, a very active and tight-knit duo, composed by Wally and Alita. Both in love of the stencil technique, they began to create drawings and handmade posters, quickly making themselves known into the street art world.
In 2004 they start the first actions in the street, stickering and pasting up posters. In their laboratory, situated in the Ortica district in Milan, Orticanoodles logos take shape. With the subversive power of Zibe, Orticanoodles starts a blazing activity with the TSO crew, soon evolving into a real urban guerrilla campaign.Â
Since roads are the largest open-air museum in the world, there you have free access and the artworks are judged for their aesthetic impact and communicative power, their creations are based on a code “POP” focused on use of the technique of stencil as a new form of the Graffiti Art.
Currently the duo are into production with the creating a series dedicated to the great leaders, TV personalities, celebrities and heads of state. All of them, however, are shelled and brutalized … so they loosing their superficial side, their public image, making them empty skulls. Sometimes this process borns as a form of social criticism and sometimes, simply, for mythisize the Death.
