Finchè c’è memoria (As long as there is memory) by Andrea Mancini in Florence, Italy

“You better know how to put it together before you take it apart” — William Chickillo.

I believe Mancini knows how to put it together. And he’s done a great job pulling it all apart for this series of paintings. Abstract isn’t quite the proper term for this series I don’t think – but they are. They tell an entire story individually as well as together.
