Gianluigi Toccafondo’s personal exhibition opened yesterday at the Italian Cultural Institute.
After a short introduction by Director Silvio Marchetti, Professor and Cinema expert Chris Sullivan provided the audience with useful details about Toccafondo’s personal experience and artistic career, highlighting how his process of making art was inspired by his father’s pottery activity. Sullivan also explained the fascinating techniques Toccafondo uses to produce his original short animation films. The audience’s response to Sullivan's lecture and to the Italian animator’s work was enthusiastic.
Both the artist’s original short films and colourful drawings will be on display at the Institute until January 14, 2011.
