Biography
The Master Enrico Bosi was born in Roma on 1953. He attended to Fine Arts Academy of Rome with Master Scialoja. During seventies was actor-mimo and he worked with compositor Roberto Cacciapaglia. Those youthful experiences, helped his artistic growth and incited for different art's expressions: theater, music, literature, photography, are whole part of Bosi's expression; sometimes surrealistic, sometimes ironic, the last more in the graphic works.
Artistic Direction's Advice
Art Gallery III Millennium
Work that Enrico Bosi presents has an original formal aspect: it has to be read down to up, only this way the audience can appreciate the fine transformation that, from graphic black and withe of pencil, takes to color of mixed technique.
After that provocation you will be impressed from the imminent presence of this curtain. It is a colossus heavy but moving where textures overlap themself into the draping and seem to break through prospectives.
The curtain's traumatic omnipresence, represents simbolically the foppish appearance of show, and it meets in the center a significative interruption: the actor's dramatic silence, only revealed from light shape, because it is only wrapper.
The vacuity and the fine lightness, unlike of curtain, stand for the plasticity and versatility that the actor needs, to be able to perform any role. The kind expression means that for the actor the performance is a natural being, with no efforts.
