Art Trope Gallery is delighted to start this new year with the retrospective exhibition of our Painter Rosario Galatioto at the Castle of Gordes, formerly the museum of Victor Vasarely, located in the heart of the city center. The Press Conference will be presented by Mr. Mayor Richard KITAEFF on Friday 11th February 2022 at 6 pm at the exhibition.

The word "painting", which, by definition, expresses artistic intention, is far too reductive and simplistic a term to accurately describe Rosario Galatioto's technique. Galatioto’s vision represents a primitive, almost archaeological language which suggests an intuitive approach to the materials used. His landscapes are more like an X-ray than an attempt at an interpretation of space. Galatioto’s work thus plays with the boundaries of vision and subjectivity, sometimes leading the artist to produce more graphic compositions in collage form.
