Tangi Intervention Program #2
(TIP #2) - Francisco Bosoletto
At Tangi Street Art Festival, we're committed to making art a continuous part of our lives, like a never-ending river. That's the idea behind the Tangi Intervention Program. It's not just about one big festival each year; it's about having art all around us. We invite talented artists to paint the island's walls in between festivals. This way, our city becomes a living canvas that keeps changing and growing. Each mural is a new chapter in our community's story, and we want you to be a part of it.

In early 2025, we had the incredible opportunity to paint with Argentine-Italian artist Francisco Bosoletti as part of the Tangi Intervention Program #2. His mural found its place in the breathtakingly raw and abandoned Bali Festival Park in Denpasar, where nature and concrete intertwine. Over the course of a day, Francisco transformed the space with his art, while spending a total of seven days immersing himself in Bali’s rich culture and surroundings. This intervention continued our mission of turning unexpected places into living canvases, fostering artistic dialogue, and deepening cultural exchange.
About Francisco Bosletti

Born and raised in Armstrong, a small village in Santa Fe province, recapitulation of the world in its own way, the Argentine Francisco Bosoletti is provided with a limpid and primigenial gaze on life, nature and humanity. His art, which also carries the traits of a universal classicity, manifests itself similarly to the mixture of genes that nourish the skin of migrants. A detail, like a flower or a rope, can conceal an unexpected meaningfulness. A face and a body, caught in an ephemeral way, can reveal a recondite and melancholic dimension of existence and become an invitation to be present in your own life free from outside conditioning. Bosoletti paints his walls respecting the memory of the sites and the people who inhabit them. His intervention accompanies that of the time that elapsess, hiding and revealing at the same time visions that seem to persist in an eternal present and remind man of the transience of existence. His painting forces the viewer to look differently, refining his sensitivity and resorting to different perceptual models than the usual and reassuring ones. The numbed eyes take action in capturing his just revealed images, receptors almost saturated with shouted visions below the threshold of consciousness, discover figures that suddenly emerge from the background and awaken a new, more subtle and powerful way of perception. These apparitions cross sense limits and touch the depths of those who look, blending with their emotions and their memories as paint strokes on the canvas and on the walls.

The Wall in Denpasar
Francisco Bosoletti’s intervention took place in the hauntingly beautiful Bali Festival Park, an abandoned theme park in Denpasar where nature and concrete coexist in a surreal harmony. This forgotten space, overtaken by creeping vines and crumbling structures, provided the perfect setting for Bosoletti’s evocative artistry. His mural seamlessly blended with the decayed surroundings, adding a layer of meaning to a place already rich with history and mystery.

The Artistic Journey
Spending seven days in Bali, Bosoletti immersed himself in the island’s cultural rhythms, connecting with its people, traditions, and landscapes. His work, deeply rooted in memory and transience, resonated with the natural decay of the site, emphasizing themes of impermanence and perception. In just one day, he transformed the wall into a piece that invites viewers to look beyond the surface, challenging them to see beauty in fleeting moments. His presence in Bali not only left a visual mark but also sparked meaningful conversations about the role of street art in preserving and interpreting the ever-evolving spirit of a place.
