Exhibitions, Italy, Napoli, 08 May 2013
In the halls of the first floor of Palazzo Roccella Pina Della Rossa exposes his recent photographic works. The artist, who has a research started in the eighties when Mimmo Jodice the SICOF presented at the exhibition in Milan, presents works in which there is a clear desire to bring back the color in the photograph.
Again, the viewer is to consider whether Pina Della Rossa is a photographer or a painter who paints he photographs. This is the question raised by his photographic works. In them, both when capturing the fleeting moment, both when subjects are "constructed", emerge strongly chromatic aspect never casual and passionate care for the composition.
For the occasion, Marco Di Mauro wrote: "... The Neapolitan artist turns to the size of the painting without distortion or artifacts elaborative those who undermine the objectivity of the image, but through the roughness of the surfaces covered with vegetable filaments as they are discovered, that visually recall the strokes of color. The artist, in essence, gives the picture an embossing effect of pictorial matrix, which makes visible and concrete on his training: from a mental creation, full of emotional values, his photographic translation, where the emotional components are sublimated by a marked pictorial imagination that helps to free themselves from the physicality of photographic realism. The image, then, is emancipated from the scientific application photographic stimuli to accommodate extra-sensory ... "
Mario Franco writes, among other things, "... the photographs of Pina Della Rossa: pictures of details, in fact, pictorial images, metaphors, synthetic, taken alone, looking around with eye inspired and involved. Images in which, in spite of the brevity (pictorial or analytical, is to be discovered), re-creating, as in the theater, a staging where game and discomfort, disturbance and magic, ensnares the viewer. Branches thick and skinny, where rarely a flower springs, ghosts of the daily landscape peripheral: a reality that proves to be a nightmare, a landscape polished and distressing. Painting and photography intensive dialogue between two modes of representation, thus in relation different languages R03;R03;within the same image ... "
The photograph, as he writes Alessandra Pacelli, "... happily left behind the idea that he forced her into the enclosure of realism, the objectification, the truthful documentation of the contemporary. The ability to stop the moment, the here and now as it is. But the gaze of the photographer traveling in a time machine, rummages in the past between dust and ghosts to carry in actuality. And in the images of Pina Della Rossa here is in fact sudden appearances, fingerprints, footprints. But even pictorial signs, architectural compositions, profiles that emerge from the mold of a crumbling wall, by the woven webs of dry branches, from rusts iron bars that surround lands without a name or windows sunk in the dark, from the cracks in the wooden doors stubbornly shut, perhaps closed on past memories, memories torn, words without appeal ... "
Assumption Pagliuca writes "... wall and roots, two elements narrative in which the artist, Pina Della Rossa, free their subjectivity, with accents in an emotional intimate perspective. A wall that is holding back a freedom that he wants to become contaminated in the storm of life, in an unstable dynamic in which everything is born and returns. Wall arcane and gray, powered by living roots that penetrate almost to regenerate the state. A tangle trace a path that winds twisted and intricate combinations of colors, from bright to dark and formless and defined. Lights and colors express the places of a mind that is lost in the plot of a space and a time interrupted by contingency. The skilful photographic technique builds striking stylistic evocations, illuminated by a light that creates a depth essential ... "
Pina Della Rossa, lives and works in Naples. Professor of Design and Art History at the Liceo Scientifico Statale of Naples, is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, where he attended courses in Photography by Mimmo Jodice, Graphic Design by Renato Barisani, painting of Charles Alfano and Armando De Stefano. It deals with communication through images through the visual design, photography, painting, three-dimensional works, and the use of new digital technologies and multimedia. Passing expressionism, informal, reaches its maximum expression with the spatialism, evidenced primarily through photography. He has exhibited in numerous national and international exhibitions, his works are present at public and private institutions, museums and archives in contemporary art, in various Italian cities and abroad.
