Ritagli. The artist experiments with platinum, Kallytype, Polaroid transfer, solvent transfer, and photomontage. She believes that collage provides an unrivaled opportunity to create non-realistic images, both unreal and possibly surreal – a challenge to the creativity of the artist and to the imagination of the viewer.
Ritagli. Mixed media works
Casa Italiana Zerilli-Marimò will hold the opening reception of Ritagli, an
exhibit of mixed media works by Flavia Robinson Derossi on Wednesday, May
25th, 2005 at 6pm. The exhibit will be on display through June 29th, 2005.
Flavia Robinson Derossi came to photography having had a very different
professional experience – she worked for many years as a social scientist,
director of a public affairs research center in Italy, and author of many
books and articles in the field of industrial sociology. In 1982, after
studying at the New School, the International Center of Photography and at
the Maine Photographic Workshop, she turned full time to photography. For
more than ten years she worked only as a black-and-white photographer. She
then began to experiment with platinum, Kallytype, Polaroid transfer,
solvent transfer, and photomontage. Derossi believes that collage provides
an unrivaled opportunity to create non-realistic images, both unreal and
possibly surreal – a challenge to the creativity of the artist and to the
imagination of the viewer.
Her work has appeared in personal shows in Italy, New York, Pennsylvania,
and Arizona. Her photographs have been published in The Soho Gallery Fifth
Book; in the daily newspapers, Il Corriere Della Sera and Il Sole 24 Ore;
and in the magazines Politica e Economia, Psicologia Contemporanea, and
Cultural Survival.
Her work is in the permanent collection of the Brooklyn Museum, the New
York Public Library, and the Bibliotheque Nationale of Paris.
She has received awards from the Photographer's Forum, the New York Audubon
Society, and the Arizona Botanical Garden.
