Description
Rossi Martino, the commercial partnership of Fabio Rossi and Giovanni Martino established to promote European art in Asia, is pleased to announce an exhibition on the work of Italian ceramic artists Giampaolo Bertozzi and Stefano Casoni. Known as Bertozzi & Casoni, the two began their practice in 1980 in Imola, a region well known for its ceramic craftsmanship.
Bertozzi & Casoni reverse iconographic conventions and perceptive elements, freely mixing various references and contradicting presuppositions. Flamingo(2012) features a grotesquely decorated plate carrying the severed head of the work’s titular bird, whilst in Diana(2016), a lady’s handbag conceals rock star sunglasses, cigarette packets and pill bottles.
