December 17, 2018: Italian artist's exhibition "Enzo Rosamilia 1977-2017: An Introduction to Italian Mentality" opened in Taganrog's FluxRus gallery "Belka & Strelka" in Giuseppe Garibaldi Street, 21. The show was organized in cooperation with Taganrog Arts & Culture Council.


Enzo Rosamilia told the press that the exhibit features photographs made within the framework of two different projects realised 40 years apart: chronicle photographs "Pig Slaughter" (1977) and "Characters" (2017) - the latter being the result of the Italian artist's cooperation with opera singer and actress Elena Berera (Italy), who appears in many ways and embodies female characters from the great operas.

The works by Enzo Rosamilia are performed masterly in the form of prints on a unique kind of paper produced in the city of Amalfi, which is considered to be one of the most valued and is also used in Vatican city. The artist uses a special technique creating a collage and a laconic artistic image. Rosamilia's masterpieces speak about time and eternity, permanence of cultural codes and the truth of simple things.


Enzo Rosamilia invented a unique technique, which is a combination of photography and painting. Each artwork was made on a famous Amalfi handmade paper (Province of Salerno, Italy), considered to be one of the most valued and is also used in Vatican city, and which was consequently hand painted with special emulsions. The artist uses a special technique creating a collage and a laconic artistic image. Rosamilia's masterpieces speak about time and eternity, permanence of cultural codes and the truth of simple things.

The works by the artist are showcased in various museums and private collections in Italy, France, Spain, USA, Brazil, South Korea, Belgium and Russia. Previously, two personal exhibitions by the artist were held in Taganrog, Russia: "Segni nel tempo"("Signs of The Times") in 2013 and "Chekhov Through the Mirrors", dedicated to Anton Chekhov's 155th birthday anniversary in 2015. In November 2015, Enzo Rosamilia with other Italian artists participated in "I Rosamilia + Vairetti" exhibition held at Taganrog Museum of Art and in 2016 he released a series of new artworks as a tribute to Faina Ranevskaya.
