ILLY ART COLLECTION Max Petrone Cappuccino 2

Italian painter Max Petrone‘s drawings, which tell a story using a coffee drawing technique, met with illy cups… The 2018 Max Petrone Cappuccino Cup set consists of six cappuccino cups and saucers that reflect a story that started by chance and left itself to the interpretation of the audience.

Born in Turin, Massimiliano Petrone, who primarily uses oil paint, spray, and acrylic, experimenting with new styles and combining various techniques, is one of the most innovative figures in modern Italian painting; in the illy art collection series, he tells six stories using the coffee drawing technique he developed unplanned. Various characters in the 2018 Max Petrone Cappuccino Cup, bearing the traces of stories told by the artist, invite everyone to an intimate conversation to contribute to the narrative.
