"Italian Artist Mimmo Rubino aka Rub Kandy never fails to miss an opportunity to transform objects & places into his canvas, be it a cement truck or steps of an amphitheatre. His most recent projects titled ‘Atlantica’ is yet another feather in his cap. The steps of an amphitheatre in Atlantic city have been painted in different colour combinations representing three different flags inspired by American culture.
While the ‘Uncle Sam’ flag colour palette is directly inspired by the United States flag, the ‘Bubble Gum’ flag colours are inspired by the American pop scene and sugar food culture (Ice-creams & candies). The ‘Atlantica’ flag colours are the colours of the Atlantic ocean, the blue and the turquoise of the sea and the yellow of the sun.
A three dimensional effect is achieved on the basis of the vertical lines chosen by the artist arbitrarily and the horizontal lines which already exist in the layout of the architecture. This 3D effect has been well rendered in the ‘Uncle Sam’ and ‘Atlantica’ flags. The three flags can be viewed together from the centre of the amphitheatre and the stage.
Mimmo Rubino took lots of pictures of the finished artwork that seemed to have transformed into a tourist attraction. Rubino recollects the moments when he felt that all the people had come to show their colours to him, a pop-anthropological immersion in wonderful America." [dzinetrip.com]

by Rub Kandy, travelling billboard, Rome sept 2011
Photographers: Carmelo Battaglia, Luca De Gennaro, Giorgia Fileni.
Thanks to: My psychedelic cameraman Angelo Sabatiello. Quentin e Tangui, who were in Rome to shoot the doc "Streetosphere". Ottavia J.E.H. Testaguzza for the translation. Federico, who worked at the file.
"Last September, in Rome, I printed a picture and put it as an advertising board on a van that traveled all over the city. The picture is a remix of the one that in the 90’s was printed on LSD blotters (decorated paper sheets, soaked in LSD and other, pre-cut in squares). Many of us have eaten that picture whose author is, probably, unknown."
*Note about the original picture: The man flying carefree on his bicycle is Albert Hofmann, inventor of LSD, portrayed during his most famous ride: when in 1943 he rode all the way home from his lab after taking a fix of his own invention.

Inspirándose en una anécdota protagonizada por el inventor del LSD Albert Hofmann en 1.943, cuando tras sintetizar por primera vez la formula, probo una muestra, regresando a su casa en bicicleta. Un acontecimiento que ha sido objeto de numerosas obras. El street art Rub Kandy, realizo en septiembre del año pasado su propia versión en 3D, dibujando la celebre escena sobre el remolque de una camioneta que circulaba, por la plaza de San Pedro en Roma. Si tenéis oportunidad de verlo en tres dimensiones, podréis experimentar, al menos visualmente las mismas sensaciones que el famoso químico.
