ARTIST
G. LUIGI ROSSI
G. Luigi Rossi is a German artist who resides in Malta. Born in Italy in 1964, he studied Language and Humanistics at Universität zu Freiburg, Baden Wüttenberg DE and at Boulder University, Boulder Colorado U.S. He is a full time artist and Creative Director for Art Malta, operating at Aldabra Atelier and Gallery.
He launched his first solo exhibition in Malta in February 2016 and has since then exhibited in various exhibitions internationally. Recently, G. Luigi Rossi exhibited his work in Galagan Art Museum in Chernihiv, Ukraine and presented works in Italy, Bulgaria, France, U.S. and Malta. |
“Luigi is one of those people you can’t help but admire. When I first saw his work ‘Round Midnight’ I immediately said: I want an exhibition of this guy in our museum. At first it was an exhibition of one work, and then it was Chromesthesia. I liked that he speaks very simply and clearly about things that are sometimes difficult to say about art in general and some aspects of it in particular. We had meetings with locals during which Luigi spoke about himself, about his work and also held a workshop for young artists. I am glad that our city impressed him so much that he dedicated a part of his collection to it. I think that our plans for future exhibitions will also come true, because Luigi has given impetus to new thinking, rethinking contemporary art and the role of an artist in it.”

With Luigi, we enter a particular atmosphere of visual perception where the vibration of colours, in continuous movement between rarefaction and backgrounds, shades and lightning, he manages to make us explore an enchanting structure overall. In a world where everything seems already explored, known and lived, the chromestaesia in his art knows how to convey the emotion of the enigma, which is our most unknowable and compelling reality. To return to the wonder of living the artistic dimension and discover new visual knowledge of the most intimate human essence, the search for our most essential nature.
