Black on White

QUESTIONS
Have any of the necessary provocative and stimulating trailblazers ever really represented the world of art over the years?

And what place does the solitary artist have in today’s world who, although intent in looking for his/her own mark and for a world expressing something different, and although accommodating content and form, in his/her view, refuses to explicitly question himself/herself about the problem of finding new, vehemently revolutionary languages at all costs?

BRIGITTA ROSSETTI
Between play and compunction, she thinks and creates striking scores of visual art modulating in dogged chiaroscuro, between baroque and essential-baroque. dream-visions of ancestral memories.

At times exorcising or demythologising the sacred, between ecstasy and the panic fear of ecstasy irresistible thrills escape (subtle cruelty of the sign) beyond the limits of one’s glance but when instinct manages to overtake childish shapes the game grows and escapes in the mysterious flight of the hand and in the lucid delirium of the mind, myriad “stelle senza lato” (stars without sides) flower and bloom as if by magic.
Softness in grey when the word vanishes in flight, beyond the fleeting violence of shouting and beyond the destruction and reconstruction of symbols the embracing of “nero su bianco” (black on white) explodes cosmic colour of diversity unnerving parabola of mystery or anatomy of the divine? Then in the essential magic of a gesture, remote initials appear, like new arabesques of antique parchments, sealing a mysterious pact with ink.

So, in black and white, we have the perfect harmony of opposites, Brigitta Rossetti creates and tells about unusual paths“canto di un fiore” (song of a flower) in twelve movements or the still white muteness of winter: subtle seductions of the profound, exciting and sweet like the taste of blood on lips: Cosmogonic enigmas or the astounding mysteries of childhood? Amongst love stories that return with the perfume of the orient and deep-rooted fears in the solo grey of a “fiore atomic” (atomic flower), other symbols appear like magic, big like glass trees
covered in leaves, the silent shout of nature in danger of death?
Yes! With paper, glass, cloth, ink and acrylic: faithful accomplices of memory, BRIGITTA creates talismans, translating choral signs of walking souls beyond the prenatal dream of bliss: tones and half tones of ineffable laces of ebony and ivory, imaginary melodies of infinite keyboards scale upon scale taking flight towards the absolute.
And if at times the so-called colours appear they will be part of the illusion "game” of the eye, marvel of the “Fata della musica” (Music fairy)
within the arc of one circular painting which is way beyond the deception of time, beyond the enchantment of fleeting beauty.
