Francois Rosso and the pre-digital architect
| Francois Rosso gives us his vision of a technological world before the digital revolution. His drawings represent valves and tubes that were the key constituencies of early computers. His photo-montages laid out like film cuts are remains of the chemical photography era. With some nostalgia and humour, the artist depicts a time when human beings were in symbiosis with their creations. His artworks are full of obscure doodling, handwriting and intriguing signs and numbers, showing the omnipresence of the creator and his intimate relationship with his production. The pre-digital architect was a constructor as well as a designer. In the digital world, electronic components can’t even be seen by the eyes of their creator. These artworks are remains of a time when creation was still tangible. Francois Rosso is a painter as well as a photographer. He holds a degree in fine arts and has worked for many years as a story-boarder for the cinema industry. He did his first photography exhibition in Paris in 1998 and then explored video with two experimental movies in 2003 and 2005. His art is now focused on mixed media photo-montages, painting his own photos to produce futuristic constructions with wood and Perspex. Francois Rosso has participated to several exhibitions and art fairs in the UK and in France with The French Art Studio since 2006. |  'Lamp 01' (details) |
