This exhibition showcases the graphic work of contemporary French artist Hervé Di Rosa, curated by Jean Seisser. It explores the artist's diverse techniques and inspirations, from rudimentary tools to modern digital imagery, often in dialogue with marginalized art forms and popular culture.
The exhibition 'DIÁLOGO CON LOS OBJETOS' presents the graphic work of Hervé Di Rosa, a prominent figure in contemporary French art. Curated by Jean Seisser, the exhibition is a collaboration between the Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas (MNAD) in Madrid and the MIAM (Musée International des Arts Modestes) in Sète, which Di Rosa founded. The MIAM is known for fostering dialogue between marginal art forms like folk art, art brut, and toys, with contemporary art. In this Madrid showing, select pieces from the MNAD collections engage in a conversation with Di Rosa's deeply personal works. The exhibition spans various periods of Di Rosa's career, demonstrating his wide-ranging artistic geography and evolution. His pieces utilize a spectrum of tools, from simple materials like wood and cardboard to sophisticated modern digital programs for images created in recent months. Di Rosa's personal narrative highlights his lifelong fascination with printed documents – illustrated books, fruit wrappers, cinema posters, and comic strips – and his desire to reinvent himself on paper. He details his journey learning linocut, lithography, etching, screen printing, and digital imaging, often collaborating with master printers and exploring diverse local techniques worldwide. His global travels have inspired graphic series incorporating vernacular contemporary popular culture, enriching his Western techniques with "savoir-faire" from places like Tunisia, Ghana, Mexico, and Cuba, often resulting in unexpected artistic discoveries through process imperfections. Recently, he has embraced digital image creation, noting its immense possibilities and the evolving technological landscape that mirrors historical artistic shifts, such as Goya's late adoption of lithography.
