Filippo Rossi: [opere/works]

di Rossi, Filippo

Finding God present in matter, believers are led to grasp the new dignity of every material thing, now become (or at least becoming) a kind of 'monstrance', just as all human seeing is now called to become adoring contemplation. This is the sense in which Rossi's experiments in abstraction, inspired by the Scriptures and of considerable material impact, perfectly suit the framework of the sacred Timothy Verdon Filippo Rossi's creations prove how a non-mimetic style can be close to the spirit of faith in Christ Antonio Natali His art is fundamentally biblical, and helps us draw near the mystery of a God who is beyond any image, representation or figuration Jérôme Cottin Rossi is an artist who tends to merge opposites in a formal unity that intrigues the mind and fascinates the spirit Giovanni Bonanno Rossi's world becomes an archipelago, an allusion to the relationship between the earth and the waters in the hexameron of the Genesis. In some of his works, one no longer is sure whether the islands are matter in the ocean of colour, or the ocean is matter sown by light and colour Marko Ivan Rupnik
