The artist lives and works in Dublin, where he is a member of the Illustrators Guild of Ireland.

Mario Sughi Artista grafico italiano a Dublino


Mario Sughi, figlio del grande pittore Alberto, ci racconta la sua storia

Servizio di Sabino Caputo
Intervista di Concetto La Malfa

“Se rimani fermo su una panchina, rischi che tutto ti passi davanti”
Questa è la frase che sintetizza meglio la filosofia di vita di Mario Sughi.
Nato a Cesena, Mario si trasferisce a Roma all’età di 16 anni col padre
e inizia la sua prima esperienza nel mondo dell’arte facendo piccoli scritti
accompagnati da disegni/cartoons per la rivista satirica “Il Male”,
nel frattempo si laurea in lettere moderne.
La sua avventura in Irlanda inizia 23 anni fa: ottiene il dottorato di ricerca
in Storia al Trinity College, pubblica un testo riguardante
Ottaviano del Palagio, lavora come disegnatore per archeologi e
da 7 anni è illustratore grafico. Qui a Dublino ha esposto le sue opere al Fine Arts
e nel Greyfriars Municipal Gallery, e all'istituto Italiano di Cultura a Dublino.
Un personaggio davvero interessante e tutto da scoprire,
uno dei più importanti artisti italiani in Irlanda.

Blue Shadows
Digital Limit Ed Prints, 2011
160x130cm, printed by the Fire Studio here in Dublin,
The work is just back from the exhibition in Waterford and now for the first time is in my studio.
The Waterford exhibition ended last Saturday. It lasted bit more than 3 weeks and we managed to sell 8 out of 22 works.
We were delighted with the gallery, the works, the people, the city, the catalogue, the selling and really everything
My studio now looks certainly bit smaller but also much more colorful!
Back in December or early Januray 2012, Blue Shadows before was exhibited at the Copper House Gallery, Dublin.
Italian painter Enzo Cucchi uses to say that paintings have feet and can travel a lot, so let’s see where Blue Shadows will go next, if anywhere!

nerosunero reviewed by mocoloco

my current exhibition
Interiors & Exteriors, Contemporary Realist Prints, at Greyfriars Municipal Gallery, Waterford, has just been kindly reviewed by Sabine7 @ Mocolo Magazine:

"Interiors and Exteriors is the name of Mario Sughi's current exhibition, but this title neatly sums up the type of work produced by the Dublin-based artist. On the surface, Sughi presents scenes of everyday living, both indoors and out. But it is the unsaid, or the inner conversations, that drive these images. Sughi's characters are caught in a pause; the vivid colours around them speak up and almost succeed in masking the more subtle stories. Our eyes dart, dazzled, but slow to a gaze that lets us take the time to explore."

Mario Sughi aka Nerosunero |
Life as Comic Nonsense
nerosunero interviewed by
Staisey Divorski for
Ganzo Magazine (LA, USA, 1 III 2012)


Ganzo How did your upcoming exhibit take shape? What do you dread and what do you look forward to in preparing a show?

nerosunero When I prepare works for a new exhibition I never worry too much about the subject matter. All my works have figures standing in either interiors or exteriors. I am always more concerned about how to do something rather than what to do.

The narrative of my work is minimal and there are no statements or statements of intention at all. To be honest I don’t think my works have any meaning. And this is fine with me. It makes them more mysterious which I believe means more real.

The viewer, if he or she wishes, will offer their own interpretation and look for some sort of narrative, because when you put two figures side by side, it becomes almost inevitable that some people will start to see some kind of narrative and create something out of it.

nerosunero on pufferfish (dublin)

works from nerosunero (including some very vintage ones) are featuring on the homepage of pufferfish with a very nice commentary that I am particulary please to including here:

"Feast your eyes on the lavish world according Dublin based Italian artist, Mario Sughi – aka Nerosunero… A world ever so slightly askew, emboldened with brilliant colour and populated by beautiful people effortlessly endowed with an endless supply of nonchalant swagger, grace and style. It’s a world we here at pufferfish – hidden away beneath our wooly jumpers, hats and beards and grey eyed cynicism – are so far removed from, we find ourselves hopelessly entranced and incessantly drawn toward. Smitten. Mario’s exhibited and published worldwide, and you can check out lots more of his work on his website."
