SERGIO ROFFO: Recent Works

Lithograph in colors on wove paper, 1976 Sheet Size: 35 1/4” x 24 1/2” inches Signed and numbered 9/125 in pencil, lower right Printed by the Rainbow Art Foundation, New York A very good impression of this scarce print.

September 2020 Nantucket gallery Willem de Kooning donated this image titled “Devil on a Keyboard” to the Rainbow Art Foundation in June 1976. The Rainbow Art Foundation is an organization which helps young and new printmakers. The R.A.F. has informed us that this is indeed a historical piece since de Kooning himself worked on it. The image was made into a nine color lithograph print in an edition of 70 signed and numbered prints. De Kooning then added the word Rainbow to the image and signed and numbered 125 pieces which is this edition.

Sergio Roffo (American, b. 1953)

Sergio Roffo is perhaps the foremost American coastal landscape painter working today. The youngest of six children, Sergio was born in San Donato, Italy. As a child, he immigrated with his family to Boston. In the 1980s Sergio studied art formally at the Vesper George School of Art under the tutelage of Robert Douglas Hunter. After graduation, Roffo began working with watercolors in his paintings of Boston cityscapes; he switched to oils when he and his family moved to the coastal community of Scituate. Roffo has been inspired by the work of the American traditional painters George Inness and Albert Bierstadt, among others. Over the years he developed a mastery of portraying the New England coastal landscape both near his home and farther afield. With a solid grounding in the fundamentals of his craft, Roffo captures the small details—the texture of dune grass, the particular quality of light of a Nantucket Harbor sunset—that bring a scene to life. His intimate relationship with his subject matter—the sea, sky, beaches and boats that surround him—is evident in all

of Roffo’s work. This emotional component, along with a uniformity of excellence, lends the work a greater degree of complexity, and has earned him an enthusiastic following. Roffo’s paintings continue to be highly sought after by devoted collectors. Sergio lives in Scituate with his wife and two daughters, where he continues to paint, teach workshops, and enjoy various other interests, including gourmet cooking, opera and classical music, gardening, tennis and sailing his 18-foot Marshall Sanderling catboat. “My mission is trying to convey to the viewer the spirituality and sacredness of my work, indicating the harmony of nature through color and light. As artists, our creative goals will never be accomplished. We will always be students of nature.” – Sergio Roffo
