AI-assisted summary

* Artist: Charles Farigola
* Technique: Mixed media on furniture (acrylic, dripping, gesso, grafismo/calligraphy and high-gloss protective coating / epoxy resin)
* Support: Vintage seat/footstool with wooden legs

* Certificate of authenticity: Included
Unique design object and non-functional recycled artwork created by visual artist Charles Farigola (published in Vogue Italia, Daily Mail UK and recognized for his focus on texture and geometric/pop pattern).
This work transforms a small classic seat into a three-dimensional pop art sculpture.
The piece is conceived in two contrapuntal but complementary readings:
* Reverso (Neo-Pop / Expressionist Portrait):
The rear backrest houses an expressionist portrait of Elvis Presley on a vibrant turquoise background, marked by black structural strokes, gestural brushstrokes and overlapped yellow tones that fall from the crown of the seat.
* Front and Seat (Drip and Urban Graphic): The front and cushion present a dense working of action painting and dripping in pastel pink, light blue, white and magenta tones.
The textile surface is covered and sealed with a high-resistance bright protective layer, on which micrographics of calligraphy and messages are embedded in the fabric texture.
The dark wooden legs have also been intervened with drops of paint that integrate the base structure into the plastic whole of the work.
Highlights
* Unique Art and One-of-a-Kind Piece (1/1): There are no reproductions; this is a unique work.
* Tactile and Three-Dimensional: It stands out for the dialogue between the malleable texture of gesso/acrylic, the glossy surface of the resin, and the density of the dripping pigment.
* Shipping: The piece is shipped perfectly packaged, protected, with an international tracking number.
Includes Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by the artist.
