Mario Rossi at F-ISH Gallery
CMC2, 44-45 Robertson Street Hastings TN34
Private view and Gallery launch 19th September 2008, 6pm - 9pm
20 September - 16 October
Open Weds - Sun, 11am - 6pm
F-ISH is a major statement of intent for the development of Hastings as a centre for cutting edge premium quality new Art.
Mario Rossi lives and paints from his studio in Hastings.
His epic ‘seascapes’ evoke the contemporary sublime, He taps into our primal fears to remind us that we are but flotsam to be tossed, or lost at sea, despite our best endeavors.
His compositions weave narratives of human trafficking and economic migration such as the cockle pickers at Morcambe Bay. Victims of the Zeebrugge, or other ferry tragedies, are remembered in their fathomless wake, whilst woefully inadequate rafts bear witness to illegal immigrants lost at sea.
