An ironic approach, also in the name, for this print that comes from the "light" and inspired hand of Gabriel Pacheco, the Mexican designer who has already created two prints with a strong evocative and chromatic impact for Rubelli in the past. Veniceland contains all the Venice identifiers: gondolas, bricole, masks, bridges, typical Venetian architecture, Murano glass and, over everything, the winged lion, symbol of the power of the city of canals. Pacheco's masterly touch makes it almost a theatre scene where each subject plays its part. On a stage midway between reality and fantasy, between present and dream, we have a sequence of captivating scenes, to be observed carefully to discover the smallest details: small motifs, elegant graphics and micro patterns that are at times unusual and curious. Veniceland takes us on a sort of kaleidoscopic tour of Venice, presenting us with a unique city in a unique variation played out in shades of blue.
