Rossicontemporary

Rossicontemporary He brings to the new gallery a passion for art, an educated collector's instinct and a valuable experience of the art market.

Rossicontemporary intends to give emerging and mid-carrier artists the opportunity to grow and fulfil their potential in a professional context and to offer collectors and art-lovers' a selection of artworks of high standard artistic quality. Opened on 1 September 2008, Rossicontemporary is run by Francesco Rossi, a Brussels-based Italian art historian with twenty years experience who has been suc

cessively a teacher and lecturer, a free lance journalist and a gallery assistant. Since June 2011 Piazza, a project space consisting in four large windows, hosts site specific projects by international artists. In September 2011 a new mezzanine gallery Rossicontemporary The Mezzanine was also opened to the public.

In the Diptychs series presented at Rossicontemporary Hughes Dubuisson divides the works into two side-by-side parts and orchestrates a superimposition of layers where distinct surfaces ultimately harmonize. These abstractions are far from devoid of meaning, they are saturated with references to the mineral and plant worlds, offering the viewer a depth without contours. Dubuisson’s works are not mere images, but fragments of universes in which each texture invites patient contemplation.

Here, there is neither beginning nor end; but if one agrees to meditate in the heart of the moment, one can encounter the spark, that unique vibration that each image carries

Between the gentle rocking of the sea, the caress of the sun or the wild tangles in one's hair formed by the wind, Lore Sressel captures the poetry of the infinitesimal: a raised arm, a direct gaze, or that "pas de deux", where bodies touch upon harmony. In that moment of grace, as the sun sets, Lore Stessel reveals a humanity that, as the title suggests, seems truly made of the same essence as dreams.

Lore Stessel. Some people are made of dreams, runs until the 3rd of May at Rossicontemporary

Hughes Dubuisson’s approach is rooted in a profound experience of volume and molding, acquired through his engagement with museum collections. For him, the act of creation is not simply the application of pigments, but a true manipulation of substances - whether industrial or traditional - to explore density and resistance. His works are constructed through the accumulation of physical gestures: spreading, sanding, sponging, and covering. This process of sedimentation produces a texture that is alive, where the material seems to have deposited itself, offering a raw and organic memory.

Lore Stessel’s exhibition at Rossicontemporary unfolds across three rooms; each designed as a space for reflection and emotional exploration. This series is largely the result of a two-year residency in the Basque Country, where Lore was an associate artist at the Azkuna Zentroa Alhondiga in Bilbao. Here, she presents the narrative of an intense encounter between contemporary dancers and their land: where jagged rocks plunge into the sea, their bodies absorbing raw energy, transforming it into a more human form. The result is a dance of contrasts between the fluidity of movement and the ruggedness of the landscape; all set to the unchanging rhythm of the waves.

Please note:
This weekend the gallery will be open as follows:
SAT 18 APRIL 10AM - 6 PM
SUN 19 APRIL 2 - 6 PM (Rivoli Open Sunday)
Welcome!

For over thirty years, the work of Belgian artist Hughes Dubuisson has unfolded at the crossroads of sculpture and painting, driven by a constant exploration of materials.

"These images are gestures I've walked with for a long time. I carry them within me like little bundles of stories, fragments of memory that resurface and bear witness to moments when I simply "was." Now detached from the flow of real life, these moments have taken on a new form and intensity: they have become small, autonomous presences, leading a silent existence, disconnected from the rest of the world. Each photograph is an invitation, a call to sit and look more closely. Here, there is neither beginning nor end; but if one agrees to meditate in the heart of the moment, one can encounter the spark, that unique vibration that each image carries."

For her ninth solo exhibition at Rossicontemporary, Lore Stessel continues her singular exploration of the relationship between the body and its environment. Through photographic emulsion prints on canvas, she transforms a moment into a vibrant and tactile material, situated at the boundary between photography and painting.

“Paintings” gathers twelve oils by affinity, not chronology—from found images into the "image of the image," staying real yet probing perception. Close-ups of objects, body fragments, and memory sites gain an uncanny, compelling presence through blur and clarity.

This Sunday, March 8 is the last day of the exhibition: everyday things reveal their deceptive, secret lives.

Each work in “La mariée ira mal” turns the gallery into a field of luminous language—polished brass slats like glowing commas and dashes, where words gain volume through light, shadow, and silence. These pieces ask how a single term shifts meaning: a story's spark, a definition, or a quiet betrayal? Walls speak to those who listen.

Finnisage this Sunday, 8 March, from 2pm to 6 pm. At 5 pm, Jean François D’or will reinterpret Bob Dylan’s "Subterranean Homesick Blues". A mute performance that speaks volumes.

“Samhain” captures the thinning light and deepening hues, each small work a "visual haiku"—complete alone, yet part of a larger rhythm of breath and restraint. Through repetition and imperfection, pigment rises from the paper, marking time, gesture, and quiet reflection.

Finnisage this Sunday, March 8, from 2pm to 6 pm. Last chance to linger in that threshold between darkness and the year's most beautiful light.
