MIAMI NEW TIMES
By Carolina del Busto
FLORIDA---The Ricart Gallery's newest location is planted firmly in the heart of Wynwood's Art District. The walls are a bright white, and positioned neatly at the front windows -- as well as the roof of the building -- are two Pinocchio statues painted by artist Carlito Dalceggio. Dalceggio is experimenting with Mickey Mouse's head and Buddha's body. His main vision for this exhibition is universal peace, therefore by taking an image that is highly commercialized (Mickey Mouse), and another that is highly idolized (Buddha), he is bringing together "two opposite visions of the world, because it's now time to cut the difference and put them all together in the blender and bring about universal peace."
