Mario Sughi
Give me a ring tomorrow

"Give me a ring tomorrow" (same title as the exhibition), is an enigmatic and atmospheric short story, set in our days Dublin, that can be read either as a fiction story, a graphic novel, or an original, introductory, exhibition-catalogue text.

Exhibition
Mario Sughi: Give me a ring tomorrow
We’ve known Mario for a long time now. The Italian painter and illustrator moved
here in the late ‘80s having previously worked as a cartoonist in Italian satirical
magazines. His father Alberto was hailed as one of the finest painters of his
generation. Besides rocking a pair of shades, Mario is also gifted. His colour popping
work accentuates femininity - lips protrude, eyes lock focus and legs are
limber. Give me a ring tomorrow has Mario pair his work with an accompanying
essay of sensual intrigue as a cleaner called Maria inserts herself into the lives of a
couple.
United Arts Club, Thursday June 8 - Sunday July 2.

"Street photography has to be consumed fast when it’s fresh. One or two year later a nice picture is still a nice picture but it starts to lose the immediacy ... On the other hand, the energy of a good painting lasts longer. Paintings belong to a continuous evolving present, their hidden meanings, the ones you have consciously or unconsciously placed in them, keeps the image alive..." PDF / full text
