With Emilio Garcia’s “Brain Evolution” Group Custom Show drawing to a close, California based Toy Art Gallery are preparing for their latest show, a collaboration with Italian artist Francesco De Molfetta, set to drop later this month (October 14th). Entitled ‘Pop Fiction’, Molfetta’s exhibition will feature a host of new sculptures in his famed pop art style; questioning our overstimulated, material obsessed and complacent attitudes in modern society.
“Francesco De Molfetta was born in 1979, he lives and works in Milan, little Italy, Europe. Francesco’s art is bold and holds back no punches. When viewing his art, the observer is invited to closely examine his own fate and position in the cultural landscape. Does he transcend and reshape, or remain complacent and numb in a material-excessive and sensory-overstimulated world? One has to decide because Francesco’s art demands an answer.”

Unfortunately details on the exhibition still remain scarce, but we’ve included images below from Molfetta’s last major exhibition entitled New Idols, held at The Don Gallery, Milan. Opening last April, the show featured a host of famous figures in popular culture, reinterpreted in Molfetta’s witty, culturally conscious style. For more information on New Idols, check The Don Gallery’s web page here.
