Mimmo Roselli

Silvia Waldt and Po Kim Gallery, New York

“ The geometric line is an invisible thing. It is the track made by the moving point. ……This is the straight line whose tension represents the most concise form of the potentiality for endless movement.”

Kandinsky, Point and Line to Plane, 1926

Mimmo Roselli (b.1952 Rome) is a renowned international artist with the minimal sculptural installation. The exhibition, D I A G O N A L presents 27 paintings, a video about “Un Km di line di più”, a solo show in Museum Arterra (Austria), Dir. Ewald Stastny and one sculpture-installation made with transparent fishing lines at The Sylvia Wald & Po Kim gallery. Roselli’s work focuses our attention on the presence of the line in space. His paintings present very delicate and distinguish lines that are carefully incised on the backside or the surface of the canvas. The image of paintings reveals the traces of something done on the white canvas. His monochromatic paintings with his minimalist idea are transmitted to his sculpture-installation located towards the rear of the gallery. The installation creates a space through the use of transparent lines as a kind of three-dimensional drawing. The lines originate on one side of the gallery wall and go to the opposite wall by cutting through the center. The height of the lines is higher on one side than the other side. All lines move in a diagonal direction, ascending and descending, as they energize and connect the space. In doing so, they create a meeting place between painting and void or between different experiences and ideas. Roselli describes his work as follows: “Paintings and installation speak about transparence that was always a trait very relevant in my work. My transparences, my landscapes of a world caught from a point of view high in the sky, show signs of different nature. However, in this show I worked also with more individual signs, more specific of a human activity, how dance, direction, love, friendship, solidarity.”

Mimmo Roselli lives in Florence, Italy and works internationally in Europe, the United States and South America. This summer he will exhibit his work in the Venezia Pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale, 2013.
