Cirque, Circa 1983
Carlo Roselli

Carlo Roselli was born in Milan in 1939. He completed his classical studies in Rome, first taking courses in law and later political science, but without enthusiasm he became interested in theater and formed a small company with a group of friends: Shakespeare, Baudelaire, Ionesco and others are recited. At the beginning of the sixties, he abandoned his studies, his friends and his family and left for Paris, dragging behind him the illusion of a nearby goal to which Roselli tenaciously aspired: Art. He moved to the Latin Quarter and took regular classes to learn Spanish and French. During the three years of his stay in Paris, he established friendships and working relationships with various artists, now known, and other personalities from the world of art and entertainment. The Parisian environment influences him especially in painting; even today, in his paintings, this echo is reflected. Still in Paris, he met the Londoner Susan Beswick, whom he would marry after a few years in England and who would be his lifelong companion. Leave Paris. He went to London and stayed there for a year in the Notting Hill district. With Susan, he made a series of trips around the world and in 66 he settled permanently in Rome.

He begins to paint with more love, although he alternates periods of study in philosophy, mathematics and physics with painting, without forgetting his passion for the theater. Finally he makes his choice and opposes his world of theater to painting: thus are born his characters with their continuous change of mimicry, where Roselli identifies the canons of human attitudes and mixes them, with masterful skill, with the chromatic expressiveness, which speaks to us beyond the knowable data. Until 1972 he studied at the Free School of Nude and Decoration of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome He knows artists of his generation from this figurative tendency specific to his instinct and his character; frequents Carlo Quaglia, Ennio Calabria, Sebastiano Sanguigni, Franz Borghese, Edolo Masci and many others. His first personal exhibition at the NF Gallery dates back to 1973 1 (Nouvelle Figuration 1) in via Margutta. Since then, Roselli has become part of the extended painting from the "Roman" and "traditional" expression to the European expression and exhibitions have been organized for him throughout the national territory. Since 1983 Roselli has been offered in France, thus opening a period of European meetings with personal exhibitions mainly in Rome, Geneva, Lucerne, Paris and London. Since 1984 the "La Vetrata" gallery in Rome and the "Meeting Art" in Vercelli have been permanently involved in his work. His paintings are present in important auction houses: Finarte in Rome, Meeting Art in Vercelli, Sotheby's and Christie's in London.

In the mid-1980s, his passion for philosophy and science was disturbingly rekindled. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, he is interested in unresolved questions in mathematics and physics, devoting much of his time to the study of scientific texts and continually updating himself on research developments. A particular vision of the world thus emerges in Roselli. He wants to make his ideas known and begins to write with a torrential impetus. He paints little and friends in Rome look at him with suspicion; some even believe that he is lost on the way to madness! The result of this research is the essay Geometrodynamics and Architecture of the Vacuum , Edizioni Kappa, Rome (2000)

In 1998, Roselli was attracted by the desire to explore new forms of expression. His first abstract sculptures were born from sheet metal and plastic materials. The American mathematician and writer Ivars Peterson, editor of Science News magazine, read his work and devoted four pages to it (pp 190-193) in his book Fragments of infinity: a kaleidoscope of math and art , by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 2001. probabilities at the Emma Castelnuovo Institute of La Sapienza University in Rome. He established a long friendship with Barra and was invited by him to publish essays on geometry and mathematical analysis in the national magazine "Alice". Still at La Sapienza University, he established confidential relations with scientists from various disciplines and, in 2003, established a friendly correspondence with GianCarlo Ghirardi, professor emeritus of physics at the University of Trieste and, at the same time, with Carlo Rovelli, currently Full Professor of Theoretician of Physics at the University of Aix-Marseille. To the attention of these last two scientists, Roselli offers some of his innovative ideas aimed at challenging the standard interpretation (Copenhagen) of quantum mechanics; with them he discusses some crucial topics of his writings and receives valuable suggestions from them which finally lead him to publish two original experiments in the international journal "Foundations of Physics Springer": "The Dead-Alive Physicist" (2021) and “The Physicist Inside the Ambiguous Room" (2022). Roselli has written several essays on philosophy, logic, mathematics and physics, some of which can be viewed online at his website . One of these essays, entitled "Un Modello del Nulla" (In the depths of nothingness), is in the process of being published.

Meanwhile, the painting, never interrupted and strangely, never distorted by events, returns to accompany his seemingly peaceful life.
