Artrust è una società d'arte con sede a Melano, Ticino. La propria collezione di opere d'arte, che comprende oltre duemila pezzi di grandi artisti moderni e contemporanei e migliaia di pezzi di antiquariato, è un tesoro che ha deciso di valorizzare e condividere, per portarlo alla conoscenza del più vasto pubblico possibile.
Along with fine art, Artrust also offers a vast choice of silver pieces (tastevins, tea and coffee sets, funnels, decanters, corkscrews and champagne buckets) all representing different times and styles. Watch lovers will also find rare pieces, from pocket watches to wristwatches that have been produced by some of the most famous Swiss watchmakers.
Nevercrew - Christian Rebecchi and Pablo Togni- is the duo Swiss street artist active since 1996 and were included in 2015 in the list of the 100 most influential artists by Graffiti Art Magazine.
From October 16th to 22nd, they have returned to Ticino to create a mural work on the building that hosted the exhibition ?Street Art. From Basquiat to Banksy, the kings of the street?, by Artrust, which called ? Disposing Machine?.
"Disposing Machine" has as subject, one of their favorite symbols, the whale.
Nevertheless, everybody can recognise a whale, thus it gains a nearly mythological connotation: it is something deeply rooted in the collective imagination and'yet so far away that on'y a few people can really experience it.
The whale is for us a symbol of the relationship between mankind and nature as it carries its whole history, the manufacœuring overwhelming power, exploitation, dehumanization and pollution, while maintaining at the same time a strong empathic and communicative value as almost iconic and decontextualized living being."
