Vote for your tandem

Pedaling gently we reached the moment of online voting. What is it about? This is the vote that allows us to award the Popular Prize of the Tapirulan illustration competition, which this year, we remember, had “Tandem” as its theme.…

Tandem - Illustratori selezionati

Tilt – Selected illustrators

It would be easy, and perhaps obvious, to say that the results took a long time to come because the jury went haywire… Yes, it would be easy and obvious, but it would also be true, because when the level…

This gallery will send you in “tilt”

Like every year, we prepared the gallery collecting all the illustrations of the participants in the eighteenth edition of the competition. It was not easy because looking at them caused us severe dizziness and continuous tilting of our weak brain…

Utopia – We have reached the horizon…

Abbiamo scritto tante volte, citando, Eduardo Galeano, che l’utopia è come l’orizzonte: quando ci si avvicina di 10 passi esso si allontana di 10 passi… E questo pareva essere il destino anche della 16a Mostra internazionale di illustratori contemporanei, il…

Stop! Stop and look at the gallery!

Perhaps some people were beginning to fear that everything had stopped, that STOP was not only the theme of the new Tapirulan Illustrators Contest but also its sad destiny… But here we are, after the time needed to catalogue the…

Utopic Gallery
