Mario Sughi

 Mario Sughi aka NEROSUNERO is an Italian artist and illustrator living and working in Dublin. He is a member of the Illustrators Guild of Ireland (IGI) and the Associazione Illustratori Italiani (AII). His work, satirical in humour and minimalist in style, has been published and presented in international exhibition catalogues, magazines, art websites and art galleries.

Lürzer’s Archive included Mario Sughi in their 200 Best Illustrators Worldwide 2009. Mario has also received awards in the following publications: 3 x 3 Magazine Annual (2010), American Illustrators (2012 & 2010) and Annuals of Italian Illustrators (2012/2011/2010). In 2011, he took part at the 54th Venice Biennale and his works are included in the Biennale Catalogue for the Italian Pavilion Worldwide.

On his work, Mario states: "I would like to think that my work has been inspired by the playful novels of Milan Kundera, and the work of two very imaginative figurative painters: Francis Bacon and David Hockney. But possibly this is not the case, only a playful trick of my imagination."
