Brigitta Rossetti is both a skilled poet and acclaimed visual artist who lives and creates in Milan in her native Italy as well as Chicago, U.S.A. After graduating from Pavia University with a degree in Humanities, she received her Master’s in Multimedia Publishing from Politecnico di Milano. Rossetti has since accumulated various awards throughout her artistic career, such as in the Italia Arte International Competition, and the Arte Fiera’s Contemporary Art Talent award. Her works have been exhibited at well known international art fairs, including the Florence VII Biennale, La Biennale Internazionale d’Arte di Ferrara, Miami River Fair, and Art Fair Beijing. Defining experiences for Rossetti as an artist were exhibitions at Zhou Brothers Art Center, Chicago in 2010 and 2011, and a solo exhibition at the Museum In Motion in 2013 and the Museo Regionale di Scienca Naturali, Torino in 2012. As a highly talented artist of dual disciplines, it comes as no surprise that Rossetti has also been recognized for her written works as her poetry was published Enciclopedia degli Autori Italiani in 2009. As a multimedia artist, she often combines elements and theory behind her own written verse and those of others in her visual works, conveying the diversity and complexity of inspiration behind each brush stroke.

As an Italian, Rossetti taps into to the plethora of cultural, philosophical, and literary history of her homeland, which through the Ancient Roman Empire, Latin language, and later, the birth of the Renaissance served as a launching ground for much of European civilization. This connection, both for Rossetti and for the Arts, of modernity and antiquity inspires parallels in philosophical notions to be drawn and created upon as the nature of expression has changed little over time. Rossetti has been influenced by such classic Latin works as Ovid’s Metamorphoses and especially that of Titus Lucretius’s De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things), a celebration and wonderment of natural order. It is not solely the realm of the Classics from where Rossetti has found her inspiration. One can see parallels in her work to such modern artists as Marcel Duchamp and Andy Warhol as both used “ready-made articles” in their creations. Similarly, Rossetti uses pieces of books, poems, and music scores throughout her works creating not only a multimedia vehicle to relay what she has to say, but bringing multi-dimentionality, and more importantly, making a solid, worldly connection with the audience.

Bluerider ART is proud to bring Brigitta Rossetti’s prodigious talent to Taiwan in the form “I fiori e il sole”, a solo exhibition comprised of four series, “Sounding Flowers”, “Liber”, “Fiori Immaganari” and “Fiori Di-versi”. ”Sounding Flower” is a an excellent example of the ways Rossetti utilizes elements of sculpture, painting, and ready-made articles to create an installation that invites one into a scene where music, word, paint, and structure combine in an installation where the viewer is at once audience and also conductor. In “Liber”, Rossetti uses torn and rumpled pages from Dante’s Divine Comedy, reshaping them as butterfly forms and affixing them to book stands. Every detail, from the carefully selected verses to butterfly wings interspersed among the words, reflects back to the series title, “Liber” (Free) and is certainly an ode to freedom. In “Fiori Immaganari” we see that imaginary flowers with imaginative names rise vertically before pages of floating text and ethereal backdrop, unhindered by the weight of reality. “Fiori Di-versi” celebrates the diversity of flowers as the diversity of life summed up beautifully in the artist’s own description of a recurrent dream as, ”Where my flowers become swords and lilies, two diverse objects, yet both heralding peace”. Few modern artists so superbly combine literary elements and visual display into one seamless message backed by deep philosophical roots as Rossetti has. Two genres collide, bringing together centuries past and a future of possibility in one creative outpouring. There is no future without history and it’s difficult to imagine a future without more masterful works to come from Brigitta Rossetti.
