MR. SAVETHEWALL – NEMO PROPHETA IN PATRIA
Mr. Savethewall’s work, The Future is Figital is part of the first Phygital Wallsaved drop made for the launch of the 3 NFTs on phygi.io.
The work depicts Nemo, the protagonist of the 2003 animated film Finding Nemo alongside one of the most iconic characters in the artistic production of Mr. Savethewall, namely the frog protagonist of the Kiss Me series.
As in each of his works, he thus does not fail to send a provocative and direct message: Nemo is placed above the phrase Propheta in Patria, which takes up the Latin locution Nemo propheta in patria (sua), meaning no one is a prophet in his own country. This expression is meant to indicate the difficulty for people to emerge in environments familiar to them and emphasizes how in foreign environments one is judged solely by one’s abilities and qualities.
The top of the work, however, reads Urban & Digital, which encapsulates the novelty of the work and the Mixed Phygital project created by Mr. Savethewall for the Galleria Deodato Arte. The work in fact makes street-art and urban art dialogue with digital art thanks to the monitor integrated, and visible on the right side of the work, in which it will be possible to see the NFT works purchased.
Nemo propheta in patria measures 50×70 cm and is made of mixed media on a wooden panel.
MR. SAVETHEWALL AND THE MIXED PHYGITAL WORKS.
This work by Mr. Savethewall is part of the new and exclusive Mixed Phygital project. A design monitor created by the architects exclusively for Deodato.io is in fact placed inside the work.
Inside the monitor you will be able to enjoy NFTs purchased on the new Deodato.io platform. But don’t worry, if you don’t want to purchase the NFT you can still have the physical work and on the monitor you can see a static image created by the artist himself!
Pierpaolo Perretta, also known as Mr. Savethewall, is an Italian artist hailing from Como. Mr. Savethewall didn’t start off as an artist initially. He began his career in a vastly different world, where he also became a significant manager. However, over time, he felt the need for a change, to finally harness his great creativity and talent.
Driven by his deep passion for art and, specifically, street art, he decided to fully dedicate himself to this new venture. In 2013, he left a secure and well-paying job to express his worldview and societal perspectives through art.
Mr. Savethewall immediately proved to be a unique street artist. He declared himself against wall defacement and, for this reason, chose not to create his murals directly on walls but to use easily removable adhesive tape. He also utilized recyclable materials with low environmental impact, such as cardboard. Hence, his stage name, which literally means Mr. Save the Wall, declaring his intention to protect urban decorum.
In a short time, Mr. Savethewall demonstrated himself as an artist of great caliber and, above all, versatile. It is no coincidence that he is gaining more prominence in the art scene, taking an increasingly significant position in the art market. In his works, Mr. Savethewall incorporates languages from street art and communication, as well as the latest trends in contemporary art, paying homage to renowned artists he admires, notably Banksy and Damien Hirst.
Mr. Savethewall’s works clearly convey an interpretation of contemporary society with irony and criticism. His pieces feature strong, direct, and targeted messages. The artist’s objective is not only to communicate his personal vision of society but also to convey clear and provocative messages that prompt the viewer to reflect personally on the world around them and its contradictions. This is achieved by using images of famous and immediately recognizable subjects alongside text. In doing so, he not only makes the message easier to grasp but also leaves little room for potential misinterpretations.
