Lavoir Vasserot
1 Rue Joseph Quaranta
83990 Saint-Tropez

Come and discover the Mediterranean emotions of Rossella Rossi with Lueurs méditerranéennes. Take a journey into her dreamlike world where colour pulsates, trees iridesce and the sky and sea dance in a passionate embrace.

Contemporary art exhibitions.

The exhibition is a poetic and immersive journey between fiction and reality, an ode to Mediterranean nature, where the boundaries between sea, land and sky disappear…

Saint-Tropez is the twin of Varigotti, the fishing village where Rossella grew up, and this region has always been close to her heart. Situated on the shores of the Mediterranean, in Liguria, a land of horizons, salt and rocks, it is a place that is both isolated and at the centre of the world, a place that is part of time by abolishing the boundaries between the present and the past, where light reigns supreme. Saint-Tropez is a natural link between Mediterranean cultures, echoing the world.

Showcasing a large number of his most recent oil paintings, mosaics and a few sculptures, this particularly dense exhibition multiplies the ways in which his work is presented, notably through an immersive installation that will invite the public to take the time to sit down and immerse themselves in the paintings that cover all the walls of the exhibition, in a poetic reverie.

The gallery’s reception area will also feature lithographs and books by the artist. Rossella was born and raised in Liguria, Italy. A researcher in molecular biology at the CNRS on the subject of DNA replication for over 15 years, she then turned to painting, taking courses at the Beaux-Arts in Paris and Milan. Her work can be found in major public and private collections around the world.
