ROSEMARIE ALLERS - AR 

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. 

Throughout her youth she studies drawing, painting and 

sculpture with sculptor Horacio Suarez, in Córdoba, 

Argentina. 

Later on she makes inroads into drama. She studies with 

great masters in the National Conservatory of Scenic Art 

in Buenos Aires. 

She performs as theatre actress in Spanish and German 

and goes on a theatrical tour in Latin-American countries. 

This epoch leaves a significant imprint on the image of 

her painting, to which at this time of her life she becomes 

permanently devoted. She attends workshops of 

noteworthy painters: Jorge Demirjián, Clelia Speroni and 

Omar Tegaldo. She takes up studies of Art History and 

Theory. Since 1988 she exhibits at important galleries and 

cultural centres in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Uruguay. 

In 1996 she begins her exhibition tours in Europe and 

Asia: Participates as guest artist of Marlborough Gallery 

representing Argentina in the «Montecarlo International 

Contemporary Art Prize» in Monaco. Then continues with 

a grand exhibition of her paintings in the Museum of Tokyo, 



Japan, and also in the city of Fukuoca. Since 1998 she 

proceeds on her tour over South America with exhibitions 

in Chile, Brazil, and the USA. As of 1999 she exhibits in 

important museums of various Argentine provinces. In 

2001 she is asked to exhibit her works in Rome, at the 

«Galleria L’Indicatore d’Arte Contemporanea» and in 

Utrecht, Holland. In 2002 she exhibits at the Palais de 

Glace in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 2003 is asked by the 

«Societé Imaginère» to exhibit at the Kulturhaus «Altes 

Rathaus» in Potsdam, Germany. Upon this circumstance, 

the Government of Potsdam invites again Rosemarie in 

2004, due to her having given a present for the city her 

painting «FALCON». The painting was considered by 

the City Council as a link with the image of the Prussian 

Eagle. Therefore, it was hung on a wall of the Government 

House to remain there permanently “always in a place of 

distinction” as promised by the Potsdam Government. 

This is the first work of art that symbolises for them “a 

feminine Prussian Eagle”. 

In 2007 she participates in New York at the exhibition 

called «Fuerza Argentinos» in SOHO 20 Chelsea Art 

Gallery. 

From 2008 to 2011 she continues with various exhibitions 

in museums, galleries, and painting prizes in Buenos 

Aires and other cities from Argentina. 

Some of her works belong to several collectors in 

Argentina, Uruguay, Japan, France, Italy, Chile, Colombia, 

Belgium, Russia, Spain and Canada.

Artsist statement 

Painting overnight 

My painting does not belong to the kind of works you can 

look at peacefully. As a matter of fact, I’m not able to do it 

that way. I am selfish in art, I work for myself. 

In my theme there is a tumultuous relation between 

men and women, both generally stereotyped. In this 

fight between sexes underlies always confrontation, 

harassment and subordination. They make up a powerful 

erotism, not at all idyllic. 

Sometimes understanding and love happens. 

So, with ambition, “fighting overnight” I intend to 

represent my characters , my rhythms, my painting, 

following the previous idea I had. 

Bud suddenly “my hand” knows more than myself –and 

it was something else- Something I was not searching 

at all. 

…And I paint… and so rises my real painting. Finito.

Artsist statement 

The universe is radiant. 

The conception of light began in stars. Originating the 

code of light were hydrogen, helium and lithium. It was 

this array, with various reaction sequences, that made 

new elements of life possible in the early universe and 

created the Milky Way galaxy. Not unlike letters in an 

alphabet, chemical elements via astrophysics form a 

language about starlight, and my fascination is realized 

in several series, overall called Stellar Lingualumina. 

In addition, other series concentrate on architectural 

site mapping, for example, Quadrant Bearing, paintings 

and drawings formulated from an angle at Sydney Non 

Objective, or pay homage to literary texts that have 

metaphysical underpinnings, such as, The Golden 

Eternity by Jack Kerouac and The Rosy Crucifixion 

by Henry Miller. Through meticulous editing and/or 

‘dissolving’ some of the language and filtering the 

essence, the work inherently is minimal. 

Essentially, I am translating a magnetic attraction to light 

in both inner and outer space. This attraction merges 

design elements into a minimalist’s ethos to produce 

a graphic style of imagery. Thoughts and ideas about 

simplicity are entertained along with geometry, equations 

and the esoteric qualities of numbers and colours. I play 

with visibility and invisibility. I know that light reveals 

the dimensions of space, (usually) in silence and with 

grace. 

‘Since the various materials in the Universe are only 

varying coefficients of vibration, we build in this way not 

only intensities of a spiritual kind, but, who knows? New 

bodies, metals, nebulae and stars.’ 

The true art then for me is finding ways to build and 

transmit intense information about how light in space is 

a connector and a transformer – a transformative energy 

– and, factored by time, a unifying processor of continual 

enlightenment.

Title: ESSENCE OF THE ETERNAL MATTER OF THE 

MIND, 2010 

“ …re-recognize the bliss you forgot, the emptiness and 

essence and ecstasy of ever having been and ever to 

be the golden eternity.” 

ESSENCE OF THE ETERNAL MATTER OF THE MIND 

takes its title directly from a phrase from verse 14 of 

Jack Kerouac’s “The Scripture of the Golden Eternity”. 

Emanating a fragrance redolent of sandalwood, 

clove and cardamom, the black of its convex form, 

in alchemical terms, signifies individuation. The work 

epitomizes an interstice of enlightenment. 

Technique: satin silk, plastic, tin, viscose, perfume 

(Marrakech by Aesop) 

Size: 13 mm diameter 




Title: NEXUS – One Little Resurrection 2012 

“...in the mind, worlds unclassified, undenominated, 

unassimilated, form, break, unite, dissolve and 

harmonize ceaselessly.” 

NEXUS – One Little Resurrection references and distills 

Nexus, the last of three volumes that make up The 

Rosy Crucifixion by Henry Miller. Localizing a seductive 

perfume formulated with labdanum, frankincense and 

mastic, the work is a moment of metaphoric coupling 

where non-objective concreteness dovetails with the 

invisible poetics of existence. 

Technique: velvet, plastic, tin, perfume (Mystra by 

Aesop) 

Size: 13 mm diameter

Artist Statement 

“We consume and consume and puke, more than 

fetishise the objects and information we use. We don’t 

act inside or outside of consumer culture, entertainment, 

or art culture, we consume and translate, we’re a byproduct 

of it.” Ryan Trecartin 

“The (Grotesque) body swallows the world and is itself 

swallowed by the world.” Mikhail Bakhtin 

I believe that art should get lodged in the throat of its 

audience, to make them think twice about what it is they 

attempt to consume. 

There is an idea of Inter-repulsion, a transgressive 

paradigm which (according to Georges Bataille) outlines 

the dualities between desire and filth, appropriation and 

scatology, rejection and consumption. 

My work concerns itself with the dichotomy between 

the simulation of pornography and the simulation of a 

utopian society. 

The pieces I am proposing in particular attempts to 

disrupt the symbolic order of meaning; a moment 

where by rationality ends, providing no philosophical 

speculation. 

The sculpture transgresses its own confines, penetrating 

external boundaries between itself and the world, 

ceasing to ‘be itself’. 

The sculpture is made up of purchased domestic 

objects. 

Keeping the work materially obvious to provide a lesson 

in aesthetics, appropriation and scatology...(Scatology in 

reference to George Batailles essay on ‘The use value of 

D.A.F de Sade’). 

‘’He (de Sade) understood too that our tastes are 

motivated not by the intrinsic qualities of the object but 

by the latters relationship with the subject.’’ - Simone De 

Beauvoir, ‘Must we burn Sade’. 

‘’A grotesque world in which only the inappropriate is 

exaggerated is quantitatively large, but qualitatively it is 

extremely poor, colourless and far from gay’’ - Makhail 

Bahktin - ‘Rabelais and his world’.

Artist statement 

Following the deliberate destruction of all my creations 

in the late 80s, in 2009, I resumed my art production 

after a long period devoted to opera decors and show. 

In 2004, between two decors ,was born the “Little Red 

Book”. A work virtual and dynamic (changing), consists 

of describing with photo manipulation, despite and 

optimism of few survivors of “the Apocalypse”. Then, 

of course, I had the desire to materialize the “Little Red 

Book” I have therefore created the “Mona Circus”, and 

dynamic physical work. I situate my work in a postapocalyptic 

world where all would be to rediscover, 

explore, understand, I called my art “Trash-Romantic”. 

I use only salvage. Mainly dolls old pre-1930 that 

refers to toys found after the bombing, explosions, 

crashes or natural disasters. Men has disappeared, 

the object has survived. I associates insects, plant 

seeds and / or mechanisms of clocks used symbols 

of work, arduous, time passes, irreversibility. I recycle 

every scrap of my own in the next work or waking up in 

small reconstructed imaginary worlds. All my work is an 

evolving entity and intended to be transformed by the 



dispersion of the objects that compose it, by the time 

the bacteria. I’m transsexual, ancient escort girl, I faced 

the same problems of identity, with the whole of this job 

I am trying to reach the soul of the viewer, it forced him 

to question himself, restoring it to its own ambiguity, 

identity, philosophical and moral, and because it belongs 

to humanity capable of the best and the worst player he 

is. So the victim, offender or accomplice?

Ozmo alias Gionata Gesi, demonstrates his spectacular 

ability to use different techniques and style according to 

the context he is working in, be in a public area, urban 

setting or art gallery, As a street artist he has to come 

up with original style, combining graphic design and 

illustration(sticker and posters) with art history references 

(in some of his painted murals). In his paintings, on the 

other hand, the artist adopts two distincts approaches. 

The first, based on free association, consists in a 

post modern interpretation of visual sampling, which 

in this case gives rise to an artistic babel, a chaotic 

accumulation of cross-references and citation. His other 

technique is based on selecting images generated by 

entering a keyword into an internet search engine.He 

then mixes and interprets these existing fragments in an 

attempt to come up with new meanings. 

In occasion of his last project in march 2012, for the 

prestigious Museo del 900 of Milan, located in the 

monumental heart of the City, called ‘Pre Giudizio 

Universale’, he was acquired in the great collection of 

the Museum itself , as the first italian so called ‘street 

artist’ taking part in such a institutional context and 

definetly consacrated to the mainstream art scene.

From experimental play Dalila Gonçalves tests the 

permeability of materials and processes of artistic 

practice and daily life. 

By using video, photography and installation she 

conceives objects that do not always imply real 

transformation of things but rather materializations of 

subtle unexpected, ironic, absurd and metaphorical use 

of matter. The subtlety of the information, the nature of 

materials or the modus operandi chosen, play with the 

very relation of “perception” and the idea of “evidence”. 

These strange moments are, perhaps, the kind of border 

between the physical reality and fiction which trigger the 

mechanisms of feeling and thinking that give meaning to 

art object. 

I assess the hypothetical relationship established 

between the sense a contemporary “vertiginous time” 

and the time of production and artistic practice. Certainly, 

as the life and art intermingle, as the artist belongs to 

the world of universities, taxes, family and credit, as the 

studios are no longer small islands, all that he produce 

has, admittedly, something more of reflection and 

mirror.

*) Association of Free Artists named «Bathing the Red 

Horse» of Petrov-Vodkin» 


The nature of my painting is based on a dense and 

resonant mixing French art and Russian avant-garde 

art, the poetics of «Jack of Diamonds» on the free 

picturesque St. Petersburg romantic expressionism. It 

is very important to create a special tension between 

the emphasis prosaic subjects of the paintings and the 

color and compositional energy, which should occur on 

the canvas. I do not do copying landscape or still life. 

For me, it is important to see the space-time, to create 

a self-contained world-in-themselves, to tell a story. It 

is always present, even in plotless works. To do this, 

looking at daily life, which otherwise seem mundane 

and boring, see the archetypal features of the world, to 

detect plastic formulas and color harmony, to find formal 

and semantic rhythms, to create a local story common 

themes of life in a given Euclidean space. And then there 

is a particular attraction life dark and bright patches of 

color on the canvas, and the interaction of divergent 

lines, which are due to my own «non-Euclidicity» easily 

and naturally can intersect at infinity, even though their 

apparent parallelism of the original ...

My figurative works are introspective and meditative 

interpretations of the human condition imbued with 

a sense of time. My source of inspiration is the 

dichotomy of existence; the brutality and the beauty; 

the subconscious and conscious; the spiritual and the 

physical. 

Working in acrylic and oil paint, collage, and sculpture/ 

found-object assemblages, my creations range from 

striking nightmare visions, breathtaking idealizations, 

and haunting prophecies of human error’s toll. 

My artwork explores the unspeakable nature of 

consciousness and the experience of life and death.

DANIEL PEŠTA - CZ 

Daniel Pešta was born in Prague in 1959. 

During the Communist regime he moved outside the 

official artistic and social circles. He changed his jobs 

often in order to be able to dedicate his spare time to 

his free artistic creations. Later he worked in the field of 

applied graphic art, especially poster design, which he 

had studied at the Václav Hollar Art College. After 1989 

he designed a series of album covers for a classicalmusic 

publisher. He engaged himself in graphic 

arrangements of catalogues, receiving awards for book 

and poster design. 

In his free creations Pešta systematically develops in his 

own unmistakable style. He dedicates himself primarily 

to drawing and painting, in time he begins to experiment 

with a wide variety of natural materials, such as wood, 

paper, wax and leather. 

In 1998 and 2000 he introduces his work at his 

own exhibitions in New York. These study journeys 

are the milestone for the author’s creative work and 

subsequently bear fruit fully manifesting themselves 

in 2003, when he moves away from painting and 



begins to create with transparent acrylic materials, 

working with photographs. He seals his older rolled-up 

pictures into tightly-shaped columns, giving rise to the 

“Genetic Codes” and a series of “dark assemblages”, he 

implements conceptual projects, he films videoart. On 

the front elevation of the Felix Nussbaum Museum in 

the German town of Osnabrück he places a display of 

a dimensional neon work. In museums of contemporary 

art in Prague, Osnabrück and Solingen he presents 

conceptualised projects on the theme of masks and 

concrete figures. After a prolonged pause he partially 

returns to painting. 

Pešta’s works are exempt from aesthetic kitsch, often 

hovering on the edge of raw naturalism. In the majority 

of cases they reflect the social and political situation. 

His masterful psychological analysis of the individual 

or society at large impedes any pathos whatsoever. 

The genesis of his works is subordinated to a precise 

preparation, he progressively works on their final form 

over a number of years. 

Daniel Pešta has shown his work at dozens of oneman 

exhibitions in both Europe and America. He is 

represented in important museums and collections, he 

attends biennales of contemporary art. He is a member 

of the Mánes SVU Association, he lives and works in 

Prague and Frankfurt am Main.

ANNE PLAISANCE - PL 

The Warsaw based artist, Anne Plaisance, is a free and 

passionate personality. 

Freedom in means (collages, sketches, travel diaries, 

watercolor paintings, oil canvas, sculptures, installations, 

pieces of writing, photos and video), as well as freedom 

in subjects (women and society, memories, consumption 

society criticism, etc..). 

Under the apparent aesthetic of her artworks, the 

brutality of the message, by contrast, is frapping and 

questioning the viewer (for ex. “In Memoriam”, “the tears 

collection”, “the draft”, “the maison close diary”..). Her art 

is like and iron fist in a velvet glove. 

Her works can be found in private collections in France, 

Great Britain, Belgium and Poland. She’s member of 

the “Positiveart” and “Young at Art” artistic groups and 

became in 2011 a member of ZPAP (National Polish 

Artist’s Association).

Arte povera cycle: 

The “arte povera” cycle is simply criticism of our 

society, based on consumption, which, taking in a more 

revolutionary sense, is consuming our own children. 

Trade marks as Louis Vuitton, recognizable all around 

the world by consumers (we are not citizens any more 

but consumers...), is an adaptation, like of many other 

things, of their dreams and desires – closely guarded 

by hordes of advertising, marketing & pr specialists. 

This very symbol became synonymous with wealth and 

social status. But what will it mean in a 100 years. Are 

poignant symbols from our past still meaningful to us 

today? 

The “arte povera” cycle was presented the first time 

during the individual exhibition “caprices” in Warsaw. 

As in previous exhibitions, Anne Plaisance poses the 

essential question, the answer to which lies entirely 

within ourselves. 

Artist Statement: 

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. (Leonardo da 

Vinci)
