Short Bio:

Italian artist Fupete has creativity in the blood –­ his grandfather was realist painter Giacomo Tabellini. Now based in the Tuscan countryside, he approaches his work from a designer's perspective, adding slogans and simple figures to sophisticated colour gradients. Fupete also creates 3D works, using cardboard to create robot-like figures and masks. He has created prototype designs for Smart Car, posters for charities and published two books, as well as working as associate editor for art magazine Rojo.
