Ch'Art Design

The Families

Evolution cannot be stopped

The signature of the tiles

Before the names, a shared mark. Every Ch'Art is made of tiles, and every tile carries its own process color code: the mix of cyan, magenta, yellow and black it was born from.

Ch'Art tiles faithfully carry their native color component, so as not to forget their origins.

It is the key to reading the families: some carry it with pride, some have sacrificed it, and one has translated it into another alphabet.

The three original families

In the beginning, the Ch'Arts came in three kinds.

A Rainbow Ch'Art: multicolored tiles in a continuous flow on a white background

Rainbow

The Rainbow Ch'Arts show every color of the iris, an unbroken flow from one shade to the next.

A Selected Ch'Art: a few coordinated tones in voluptuous shapes

Selected

The Selected Ch'Arts are born from two or three base tones, creating fusions and an interplay of light and shade.

A Dark Ch'Art: composite shades of gray on a white background

Dark

The Dark Ch'Arts blend elegant composite blacks, some warmer, some colder.

Then came the others

Then came the OnBlacks, with their dark, mysterious background, and the NoCh'Arts, free from the process color codes.

An OnBlack Ch'Art: multicolored shapes standing out from the black background

In praise of plasticity

The first Ch'Arts appeared on a white background: their essence drew strength from the light given by the material, from its physical and tactile character, from the natural traits emerging alongside the colors.

But one day some Ch'Arts grew so strong that they demanded a sturdier, more concrete support from which to stand out with energy.

So they crossed over to the dark side of matter, black or blackened, and founded their own lineage.

A NoCh'Art: continuous, shaded colors, without the numeric codes in the tiles

NoCh'Art

All color, no numbers

Some sensations can only be conveyed by a very intense flow of colors and shapes.

The color tiles of the NoCh'Arts sacrificed their numeric codes to achieve a greater plastic cohesion, a sense of completeness that keeps the dynamic within a highly introspective context.

And for those who say gray is not a color, there are NoCh'Arts in composite grays: mixtures of cyan, magenta and yellow, now warm, now cold, with glints shifting towards red or blue.

The signature, translated

There is also a Ch'Art that did not lose its signature: it translated it. In Ch'Emistry, the installation for the University of Insubria, the process color codes gave way to the symbols of the chemical elements, each with its atomic number.

The Ch'Art style, always highly recognizable and unmistakable, ranges from nobler artworks to others easier to interpret, to live and stimulate in every context.

Every commission starts here: a family, the colors of your space, an artwork that does not exist yet.
