MR. SAVETHEWALL – WALLSAVED – PAY PER VIEW
The unique artwork by Mr. Savethewall, Wallsaved – Pay Per View, was created in 2023 and measures 50×70 cm.
The protagonist of the artwork is a revisited sculpture by Canova in the unmistakable style of Mr. Savethewall. The artist takes inspiration from the neoclassical sculpture titled “Paolina Borghese as Venus Victrix” by Canova. Mr. Savethewall transports the subject into our contemporary era, depicting it with a computer.
In the background of the artwork, other representations that have been featured in previous works by the artist make an appearance, such as the frog from the Kiss Me series, the king and queen of cards kissing, as well as Peter Pan, Wendy, John, and Michael Darling.
By appropriating the wall, Mr. Savethewall returns to the origins of street art, but at the same time goes beyond, as he works on it in the studio, consistent with his aversion to defacing public walls. We can therefore speak of Post Street Art: an evolution of the movement that, from the streets, now finds expression in studio-created works.
MR. SAVETHEWALL AND THE MIXED PHYGITAL ARTWORKS
This artwork by Mr. Savethewall is part of the new and exclusive Mixed Phygital project. A designer monitor, exclusively created by architects for Phygi.io, is placed within the artwork, where you can enjoy the purchased NFTs on the new platform Phygi.io.
Inside the monitor, you can experience the purchased NFTs on the new Deodato.io platform. But don’t worry, if you choose not to buy the NFT, you can still own the physical artwork, and on the monitor, you’ll 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.
