Artist: Serse Roma – Italian (1952- ) Title: Paesaggio Addotivo Year: 1996 Medium: Graphite drawing on aluminum (see below) Size: 27.6 x 39.4 inches (70 x 100 cm) Signature: Signed, titled dated on reverse Condition: Very good This work is by Serse, also known as Serse Roma (1952-). The process of creation is fairly unconventional. Serse creates drawings by erasure. He covers a sheet of paper with a dense layer of graphite, then ''draws'' on its surface with an eraser. Using photos as his point of departure, Serse renders mountains, bodies of water and trees from the shades of gray that emerge as he plies his eraser. The resulting image is mounted on aluminum. This work depicts an iceberg at sea. This image has a powerful presence because of the composition and the clarity of its realism. It measures 70cm x 100 cm or 27.6 x 39.4 inches. The piece is in very good condition. It is signed, dated and titled on the reverse. Please see photos. Serse was born in 1952 in San Polo di Piave. He lives and works in Trieste. The artist has produced over the years an extraordinary series of images that have been included in the book “Drawing”, edited by Phaidon Press. These also owed him the participation in significant national and international exhibitions such as: Parkview Museum in Beijing and Singapore (2018 - 2019); Palazzo del Governatore, Parma, Italy (2018); Centre Pompidou, Musée National d’Art Moderne, Paris, France (2013); Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rimini, Italy (2012); Musée des Beaux-Arts et d’archéologie, Besançon, France (2010); Palazzo Reale, Milan, Italy (2007); De Garage Cultuurcentrum, Mechelen, Belgium (2006); III Biennial of Valencia, Spain (2005); S.M.A.K., Gent, Belgium (2004); Rufino Tamayo Museum, Mexico City, Mexico (2002); Center for Contemporary Art Luigi Pecci, Prato, Italy (2002); Kunstverein Augsburg , Augsburg, Germany (2000); Musée de Beaux Arts, Gent, Belgium (1999); Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation, Venice, Italy (1997).
