Artist:
Artist Rossella BLUE Mocerino has held solo exhibitions both in New York and in Venice and will be exhibiting at Countee Cullen Library in Harlem with a show entitled, “Dreams in a Silken Cloth”. The title comes from an epitaph by the great Harlem Renaissance poet Countee Cullen.
Rossella BLUE’s work is highly influenced by the masked figures of the Venice Carnival and her keen desire to create work which inspires magic, mystery and passion. She considers herself a colorist and will accept the label “figurative art” but rejects the label ”realism” as she believes art is not about reflecting reality. In this current show, the artist will display her first triptych, “To Paradise and Back”.
