An Ice Cream for Anne, 2018

Mario Sughi  

Mario Sughi, aka nerosunero is an Italian artist and illustrator born in 1961 who lives & works and in Dublin, Ireland. His evocative works are drawn from influences from British Pop Art and old Italian masters, capturing a moment in time where relationships and actors are simply hinted at, leaving the viewer to flesh out his stories in his own imagination. Mario Sughi creates his work directly on the computer using a graphics tablet. He relies on his own drawings and photographs for inspiration. If we think about the work of Mario Sughi we can certainly recognize the influence of British Pop Art but also other elements. There is the voluntary suspension of time, a desire to represent non-events, to draw characters that have no history, if not through these small gestures that are intentional or suggestive, because they are always subtly ambiguous. Mario Sughi creates a new pictorial language, original, innovative and of the highest quality.
