Dubliners: Mario Sughi

An artist and a writer put the city where they live, walk and love at the centre of their work. Their gaze is attracted, more than by the places, by the people who pass through it every day. They are intrigued by the stories that are hidden behind that multitude of faces, ordinary and at the same time unique stories that deserve to be imagined and then told. (…)

The juxtapositions between writing and image work by analogies, sometimes obvious, other times barely perceptible, in an intense dialogue that plays on the contrast between the density of the text and the essentiality of the tableaux. The real common denominator of this process is the city of Dublin, always present even if in the background, with its atmosphere, its colours and above all its sea. But what remains after immersing oneself in the creative universes of these two artists, and their original approach to being together and talking to each other, is the overall emotion of the lives of others, which we always look at from afar, but which in the end, tell us about ourselves.

MARIO SUGHI (nerosunero) is an Italian painter and illustrator based in Dublin. He participated in the 54th Venice Biennale, the Italian Pavilion in the World, at the Italian Institute of Culture (Dublin 2011) and his work has been selected for nine of the recent RHA Annual Exhibition (Dublin 2012–2021).

MIA GALLAGHER is based in Dublin. She writes novels, stories and non-fiction and has devised, written and performed for the stage and a contributing editor of the Irish literary journal The Stinging Fly.
