Gianluca
Rossitto

Italia

Gianluca was born in Italy in 1986. He receives a degree in 2011 from the printmaking department of the Fine Arts Academy of Venice and in 2012 earns a Master’s degree at the Manchester School of Art in the UK. Rather than technique, his present interest in printmaking, lays in the very idea of image-transferring. "More then on a formal level, a transferred image undergoes a transformation process on a conceptual one. What I am interested in is the dislocation of an image from it’s original support and how the change of context determines a change in significance."
