Sergio Rossi, aka Rosso, after years spent painting in search of a language able to translate reality into landscapes and stories, moved towards the informal, albeit with a structure and the desire to crystallize forms into rigorous synergies of materials and colors. The artist sees the painting as an indeterminate space into which you can allow the constant flow of one's unconscious emerge, in an attempt to find banks that can channel it to balance the elements that make up the work for a harmonic, formal and chromatic result. The expression can be found in the contrast between precise and defined backgrounds, played on a few shades and almost always characterized by vast backgrounds (close to abstract and constructivist tradition), and the irregular fragments that emerge, giving life to metamorphic forms - like fragments of a broken and recomposed reality with compositional rhythm that respects only free and imaginative invention. From informal tradition Rossi also draws his passion for the materiality of the picture. By treating the pictorial surface with alchemical mixtures of sands, colors, stuccos, glues, onto which sometimes he also inserts gold or silver leaf and collages of fabrics, he is able to give life to variation that are at times almost silent, severe or poetic (with possible echoes of Burri); at other times, however, he brings us offerings that are rich in an expressive vitality that manifests itself in chromatic explosions of an intensity that recalls the vital impulse from which creation springs. From chaos to the cosmos, from essence to being. It is possible to perceive him digging to the depths of the universe, as if attempting to represent microcosm and macrocosm, to find and reproduce their most intimate harmonies, as well as their hidden turmoil. Everything finds its harmony with stylistically and semantically flawless poetic and executive rigor, which gives the artist's works the gift of being captivating for the imagination - Cristina Palmieri

The Cause

Ai.Bi. Amici dei Bambini was set up in 1986 by a group of adoptive and foster families. The association's mission is to guarantee that every child has right to be a child and to grow up in a family and today has more than 80 members and 156 volunteers operating in Italy with its national headquarters in San Giuliano Milanese and 25 regional offices, as well as information points in every region and a network of “Pan di Zucchero” Family Service Centers around the world with 33 operating offices in Eastern Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia.

Here are some of the numbers from Ai.Bi.'s 30 years of work in Italy and around the world: 60000 children supported at a distance; 3997 abandoned children rehired with an adoptive family; 600 families supported by the Pan Di Zucchero Family Service Centers in Italy; 201 children and teenagers welcomed into foster care family homes; 134 teenagers, 153 children and 104 mothers welcomed into mother-child communities and semi and high autonomy accommodation; 44 foster families accompanied over the course of their family reception project.

In this COVID 19 health emergency, Ai.Bi. is on the side of already fragile children and families who have found themselves facing isolation: minors without any family support have been welcomed alone or together with their mothers to our host communities in Italy and children abandoned in African and South American institutions, together with family members who have survived the war in the north of Syria, have been helped.

Take part in the "Il Bello che Fa Bene" ("Nice things to do good") Charity Auction and support the "ContinuiamodaiBambini" project so that children, adolescents and families are not left alone at this time of need!
