"An original copperplate print, based on the etching ‘Veduta nella Via del Corso del Palazzo Dell Accademia‘ by Giovanni Battista Piranesi (1720–1778)
The draughtsmanship in this piece features strong technical elements. The ‘ACAB’ graffiti contours the wall naturally, with semi-transparent letters achieved by adjusting the stonework’s line weight. The tags on the lower right and the roadblock graffiti also convey a painted effect. The shutters, inspired by press photos of unrest, evoke familiarity and effectively ground the image in reality."
