{"product_id":"andrea-incontri-bilingual-edition","title":"Andrea Incontri (Bilingual edition)","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe original works by Andrea Incontri, designer who intertwines codes and aesthetics of fashion and visual arts, digital communication and applied arts.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAndrea Incontri delved into his passion for art and illustration when, in 2016, he started creating his now iconic \u003ci\u003eTipe Umane\u003c\/i\u003e.Drawn freehand by the designer on his Instagram account on videos and photos of his daily life, they are female figures, which come alive as rapid yet detailed sketches following no preparatory study. Executed by using the entire Instagram color palette, \u003ci\u003eLe Tipe Umane\u003c\/i\u003e embody \u003ci\u003eIncontri's\u003c\/i\u003e personal representation of a feminine universe. Ladies walking with their dogs or young girls going out for shopping - women of different ages and attitudes, these characters wear an infinite variety of outfits, curated in every detail, that reveal their diverse personali¬ties and show their creator's attentive observation of aesthetic and social norms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReferring to Honoré de Balzac's \u003ci\u003eComédie Humaine\u003c\/i\u003e, Caroline Corbetta coined the term \"\u003ci\u003eLe Tipe Umane\u003c\/i\u003e\" in 2016, when she curated the first show dedicated to Incontri's creations at Il Crepaccio in Milan. On that occasion, the designer's works were exhibited as digitally printed images.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWomen constitute the main focus of Incontri's exploration of humankind, which - in his vision - is an interlacing of forms, colours and eccentric ornamentation. 2016 saw the arrival of the \u003ci\u003eTipe Umane (Human Types)\u003c\/i\u003e, an ongoing experiment into the female universe that is composed of unconventional, often playful and eclectic images. They are created as digital drawings and then subsequently come to life as prints on painstakingly hand-embroidered fabric.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book gathers over two hundred \u003ci\u003eTipe Umane\u003c\/i\u003e, embroidered and framed with precious fabrics and materials, displayed as an array of the most varied female types - those that can be encountered along the streets or that embody an ideal, originating from both the real world and that of imagination.","brand":"Skira Editore S.p.A","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664265252900,"sku":"9788857243108","price":76.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9788857243108.jpg?v=1777354208","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/andrea-incontri-bilingual-edition","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
