Hervé DI ROSA (Sète, 1959) Sans titre Sculpture en bronze doré double face fi gurant deux visages Hauteur : 38 cm ; Longueur : 35 cm ; Profondeur : 4,5 cm C’est en 1993 qu’Hervé Di Rosa entreprend son tour du monde durant lequel il s’inscrira dans un mé tissage artistique liant les techniques locales à sa vision picturale de globe-trotter passionné . Ainsi, tout au long de son aventure, il ré alise une sé rie de travaux utilisant les cultures et les modes d’expression de chaque pays où il sé journe. « À chaque escale, Hervé Di Rosa est avec les artistes du pays comme il est dans son atelier. Seulement, il fait son travail avec leurs moyens. Il n’apprend pas leurs pratiques, ni ne se soumet à leurs traditions. Il se plie à leurs rè gles. Il travaille dans leurs ateliers, avec leurs mé thodes. Il met leurs savoir-faire au service de ses dessins. Il travaille avec eux. » Jean Seisser, catalogue de l’exposition DirosAfrica, organisée par la ville de L’Isle-sur-la-Sorgues avec la Galerie Louis Carré & Cie.
