Art scarf Aceto by Antoh Mansueto

Artist Antoh Mansueto explains how Aceto was born: “The drawing ‘aceto’ is a work-not-work. It’s part of what I call continuous creation. It starts with a painting of mine that I didn’t like. I repainted over it, using that 20th-century technique that displays pictorial effects, like overlapping brushstrokes on backgrounds, which in ancient times were only “under” the work, or a semi-finished product. No sooner said than done, a corner of the new painting accidentally intrigued me. I photographed it. Then Silvana (our artistic director) and I worked on the colors on the computer until we achieved something we were convinced of, perfect for creating a new scarf, wearable art. That’s how Aceto was born, the work that isn’t there. Continuous creation is the process, the work is the eternal instant, and then the creation continues. Enjoy the emotion of color and creation.”

Depending on the size, the Aceto Scarf allows for various draping styles: from a voluminous scarf or shawl to a snood. To maximize the scarf’s complexity and vivacity, pair it with neutral-colored garments (black, white/cream, gray). If you’re feeling a little more daring, you can use one of the secondary colors for a garment or accessory.
