—'The pieces i do in chicken-wire come from a childlike side of my imagination, what i love is creating installations as three dimensional pictures, the simplicity of this material contains the magical power of transparency that is capable of giving each peace the lightness of an apparition, a ghost like quality, like a trace from memory.'

Shyness and discontentment with his own inadequateness is a strong driving force. He likes white and empty rooms because of the space in which things can happen. Has plenty of useless knowledge about a lot of things nobody is interested in. He is not easily impressable but can fall in love with certain incidental movements which are not intended for somebody. Loves the phase between sleep and alertness when thougts and images come to one‘s mind from nowhere in a half aware accidental order compounding to strange combinations. —By Alexander Egger (1971), a graphic designer, illustrator, concept developer, artist, writer, publisher of zines and musician, who lives and works in Vienna.

"Selezioniamo artisti (nel senso lato del termine: fotografi, scrittori, illustratori, grafici etc.) di cui condividiamo il modo di pensare, la ricerca artistica e i punti di vista.

Mario Sughi is an Italian illustrator, cartoonist and historian, living and working in Dublin. In Rome, at the end of the seventies, he worked as humorist in Italian satirical magazines Il Male and Zut. He moved to Dublin in the late eighties where he studied Medieval History and in 1995 he was awarded a PhD by Trinity College Dublin. His colourful illustrations and cartoons, satirical in humour and minimalist in style have been published in international exhibition catalogues (Offf Barcelona 2007, Semi permanent, Sidney 2008, Ink 01 International Illustration Rally, Bilbao 2008); magazines (3x3 Mag / New York, Shift Calendar 2010 / Tokyo, The Dubliner/Dublin, Clam Magazine / Paris - New York, Ideafixa/Brazil, Fluro Magazine / New Zeland), websites ( Juxtapoz, Paintalicious, Yay! Monday! Evilmonito, Design Milk) and art galleries (Sexy Art Gallery, London, The Shiny Squirrel Gallery, NY; Little Paper Airplanes, Los Angeles; Umber Studios, Minneapolis; 180 Gallery Cambridge, Ontario; Wannabee and DOZ Gallery, Milan; Irish Art House, Tullamore and The Loft, Dublin, Ireland, Turn-Berlin, Germany) LÜrzer's Archive included Mario Sughi in their compilation "200 best illustrators worldwide 2009”.
“My illustrations are meaningless, colourful images. And within those images reality and joke mix freely and happily together. I would like to think that my work has been inspired by the playful novels of Milan Kundera, and the work of two very imaginative figurative painters: Francis Bacon and David Hockney. But possibly this is not the case, only a playful trick of my imagination.”—Mario Sughi, 2008.
