Man in the Cosmos

MAN IN THE COSMOS

Ugo Dossi's work revolves around inner images and archetypal symbols. At its core are minimalistic drawings that derive their expressive power and poetry from a single line.


MODELS OF THE WORLD

Ugo Dossi is fascinated by logical systems created by humans to make sense of their inner and outer worlds. The associative nodes of language as well as the games of Chess and Tarot have a formative influence on his work.


THE ART OF THE LINE

Ugo Dossi strives to liberate the expression of man's unconscious creative power by Automatic Drawing. The tools, techniques, and artworks thus created refine and redefine the surrealist approach of Écriture Automatique and uncover signs and spaces of deeper meaning.


TRANSCULTURAL IMAGES

Ugo Dossi creates systems of archetypal symbols that can be understood across time and space. These symbols contemplate fundamental experiences and questions of the human in the cosmos: Where do we come from? Where are we going? Who are we when we are dreaming?
