An exhibition devoted to the career of Roberto Ruspoli, the Lugano-born, Paris-based artist whose profile figures in drawing and painting reflect his classical training and influences such as Cocteau, Picasso, Rothko and Pina Bausch. On view Tuesday to Saturday, from 2pm to 7pm.

Full details

Roberto Ruspoli was born in Lugano, the son of a Swiss mother and an Italian father, and grew up in Rome, where from an early age he developed a deep interest in drawing and painting. At eighteen, he moved to New York to study at the School of Visual Arts (SVA). In the city, Ruspoli had the opportunity to exhibit his work for the first time and to meet influential figures from the art world, including his teacher Michael Goldberg, an important abstract expressionist contemporary of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. After five years in New York, Ruspoli returned to Europe, living first in London and then settling definitively in Paris. His first solo exhibition in Paris, in a gallery in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, was a success, reflecting his deep cultural connection with France. The artist states that his 'artistic language is very French', feeling culturally close to that country. Among his influences, the choreographer Pina Bausch stands out. His participation in O Dido, in Rome, in 1999, was a transformative experience, revealing the synergy between dance and drawing. Ruspoli compares the act of drawing to a dance, requiring a fluid and spontaneous interaction with space, something he considers almost meditative. Ruspoli's aesthetic, marked by figures drawn in profile that reflect his childhood in Rome and his classical training, is also influenced by Cocteau, Picasso and Rothko. In addition, the artist adopts the fresco technique, which consists of painting directly onto the wall, a gesture he describes as an electrifying experience, with no margin for error. Tuesday to Saturday, from 2pm to 7pm. drawing painting.

Show original (Portuguese)

Roberto Ruspoli nasceu em Lugano, filho de mãe suíça e pai italiano, e cresceu em Roma, onde desde cedo desenvolveu um profundo interesse pelo desenho e pela pintura. Aos dezoito anos, mudou-se para Nova Iorque para estudar na School of Visual Arts (SVA). Na cidade, Ruspoli teve a oportunidade de expor o seu trabalho pela primeira vez e de conhecer figuras influentes do mundo da arte, incluindo o seu professor Michael Goldberg, importante expressionista abstrato contemporâneo de Jackson Pollock e Willem de Kooning. Após cinco anos em Nova Iorque, Ruspoli regressou à Europa, vivendo primeiro em Londres e fixando-se depois definitivamente em Paris. A sua primeira exposição individual em Paris, numa galeria em Saint-Germain-des-Prés, foi um sucesso, refletindo a sua profunda ligação cultural com a França. O artista afirma que a sua “linguagem artística é muito francesa”, sentindo-se culturalmente próximo deste país. Entre as suas influências, destaca-se a coreógrafa Pina Bausch. A sua participação em O Dido , em Roma, em 1999, foi uma experiência transformadora, revelando a sinergia entre a dança e o desenho. Ruspoli compara o ato de desenhar a uma dança, exigindo uma interação fluida e espontânea com o espaço , algo que considera quase meditativo. A estética de Ruspoli, marcada por figuras traçadas de perfil que refletem a sua infância em Roma e a formação clássica, é também influenciada por Cocteau, Picasso e Rothko. Além disso, o artista adota a técnica do fresco, que consiste em pintar diretamente sobre a parede, um gesto que descreve como uma experiência eletrizante, sem margem para erro. Terça a sábado, das 14h às 19h. desenho pintura.
