Land, creativity, food and art: these seemingly disparate concepts are now intertwined in a new series of coffee cups created by illy to interpret the theme of Expo Milano 2015, “Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life”. The authors of the story told by the new illy sustainArt Collection for Expo Milano 2015 are four young artists from four coffee-producing countries: Costa Rica, Guatemala, Ethiopia and Honduras. The four artists were selected by the curators of illy sustainArt, a project started by illy in 2007 to expand its approach to sustainable growth to the international art community and offer creative talents from emerging countries opportunities to be seen.
which acts as a showcase for the world of contemporary art, a point of reference and a place where artists and curators can meet, exchange cultural ideas and have the opportunity to display and promote their work.
The four artists behind the new illy Art Collection have harnessed the power of their art to create four works in a unique limited edition series that interprets the central theme of Expo Milano 2015:
ADÀN VALLECILLO (Honduras)
The evolution of life compared with the ripening of coffee berries.
“I’ve applied my passion for Pantone to the cup starting with the stages of colour that coffee berries go through as they ripen. This is combined with the idea of a graphic concept of energy for life expressed by the concentric rings.”
