Mr. Savethewall - Mr. Savethewall International Language - Catalogue
Five hundred years ago Leonardo Da Vinci affirmed that painting should have been “pure mental thing”; a hundred years ago Duchamp, driven by a same kind of necessity, went from painting to ready-made, claiming that the object has to be a background and has to be barely touched with the glance, so to catch the truly interesting aspect: its “verbal” significance.
In the series International Language Mr. Savethewall starts from English words, showing them purely and matching them with their significant and signifier, representing the image of their meaning in black and white. As defined by linguist Ferdinand De Saussure1, language is the social outcome of speech and, at the same time, a set of necessary conventions adopted by the social community to allow individuals to speak. As a matter of fact, a language is a system made of different signs that correspond to different ideas, which develop from a set of “words” and include also phonetic. For this very reason, in these works Mr. Savethewall does not show just the concept (the meaning), but also the acoustic image (signifier) that make his “words” recognizable and intelligible for all the individuals of a specific community, despite the arbitrary visual sign.
With this project Mr. Savthewall acknowledges the importance of the contemporary use of English language and configures a true global artistic language, a “Lingo” , made of an alphabet of letters, numbers and words, and an abecedary with images that refers to the semantic areas of his poetic.

Pierpaolo Perretta, aka Mr. Savethewall, is an Italian artist from Como. Mr. Savethewall was not immediately born as an artist. In fact, he began his career in a very different world from the artistic one, where he also became an important manager. As time goes by, however, he begins to feel the need for a change, to finally put his great creativity and talent to good use.
In Mr. Savethewall's works, it is clear to perceive an interpretation of today's society in an ironic and critical key. His works indeed present strong, direct and targeted messages. Mr. Savethewall's aim is not only to communicate his personal vision of society to his audience, but also to convey messages that are as clear as they are provocative, prompting the viewer to reflect personally on the world around him and its contradictions. From this comes the use of famous and immediately recognisable images and subjects, to which he also adds texts. In doing so, he not only makes the message even easier to grasp, but also leaves no room for misinterpretation.
THE ICONIC SUBJECT: THE FROG BY MR. SAVETHEWALL
Famous all over the world is Mr. Savethewall's depiction of the well-dressed and elegant contemporary man who, however, has the appearance of a Frog. The artist's aim is to warn of the falsity of the famous fairy tale of the Princess and the Frog: the frog, even if he turns into a prince, is still a frog. The true moral of the tale is therefore that, as the artist himself states, 'a frog, even if well dressed, is and always remains a frog'.
