Rossanne Pellegrino is an Adelaide artist who now works and lives in London. A quick trip to Adelaide to exhibit her photographic work at Max Dawn Gallery was also a time for friends and family to gather and celebrate her work, alongside other art lovers, in a relaxed ambience.
Pellegrino’s work capture’s the built environment in flowing movement, as an organic mass becomes a series of waves, gently distorting and bringing the architecture alive.
Her works vary in subdued or bright colours. Her works are Lambada coloured prints on archival paper. (Lambada is a type of high quality digital printing). By Cobblestone Streets is a most powerful work showing a bicycle with a wavy back wheel leaning against a wavy brick wall. Choose This Door, has a special letter opening, which may be a symbolic invitation of the choices one makes in life along the way.
