Putto Photomaton

A large black-and-white cherub wheatpaste is positioned directly above a vintage red 'Fotoautomatica' booth on a textured ochre wall. In the foreground, an elderly woman with a cane and a shopping trolley walks past, creating a scene of everyday urban life.. Subject: A classical Renaissance-style cherub with wings, resting its head on its hands.. Style: Illustrated greyscale with fine-line shading.. Details: The figure features a speech bubble at the bottom containing the colloquial Tuscan phrase 'BOIA DHE'.. Shape: Die-cut wheatpaste. Setting: Urban streetscape. Surface: The exterior wall of a building in an Italian street, likely Florence given the signage.. Colors: #D2A679 (Ochre), #A31F24 (Crimson), #FFFFFF (White), #2E2E2E (Charcoal). Composition: A vertical shot utilizing the rule of thirds, with the photo booth and cherub as the central anchor.. The juxtaposition of the angelic figure over a machine designed to capture human identity (the photo booth) suggests a dialogue between the eternal and the ephemeral. By using a Renaissance motif in a modern street context, the artist bridges the gap between Italy's high-art history and contemporary urban vernacular.
