Okapi is the zebra that was a guraffe, the african unicorn gifred by royalty. The Okapi chooses according to legend, the places whwre people are happy and find instant karma.
Born out of a love for color and life, the Okapi Gallery, with its warm-toned floor and design are intended to generate interest amongst visitors, encouraging them to discover the myriad forms of art inside. Its indoor and outdoor art forms are a celebration of art, design and color, as well as to functionally foster an environment where a love of art in all visages can be explored by the public.
Alessia Grazzani’s strictly unique pieces of bright multi-coloured micro-collage, composed by hundreds if not thousands of pieces of vintage comics glued to canvas, can be defined as a kind of reversed Pointillism in which the viewer acquires a more precise perception of the work by moving nearer to it, rather than stepping away from it.
At a closer look the almost film-like sequence of the characters’ different expressions spiraling and anchoring to mysterious drawings are extremely captivating; a compelling bedlam of cheerful energy which creates a party-like atmosphere.
