Wet Cement
about Chrome Surgery
Children are like wet cement
Whatever falls on them
makes an impression
Haim G. Ginott
Always protagonists of the city walls, children talk about immense visions and alternative worlds, helping us to stand and survive the oppression of exhaust fumes and cement. Even when their faces are corrupted by the “normality” of our times, beauty never leaves them, as in the art by the Sicilian designers Livia Di Rosa and Lorenzo Romano.
Chrome Surgery is the name of their project, a dynamic platform founded in 2012. It moves in multiple professional and cultural activities: Illustration, Graphic and Product Design, Visual and Street Art.
In 2013, along with DettoFatto, they give life to Rudere Project, a collective that creates and brings contemporary cultural events in places and abandoned buildings. In 2015, together with the pioneering club Corsica Studios, from the London underground art scene, have formed, in collaboration with international and Sicilian artists, the collective Rituals, a music and contemporary art project that combines DJs and VJs, illustrators and graphic designers, the pioneers of the digital era and performers.
Chrome Surgery was published by many international street art sites. Since 2014 collaborates with the Farm Cultural Park in many events and exhibitions, active presence in urban regeneration festivals such as Peripheral and ALTrove StreetArt Festival, the network extends throughout Italy and Europe with strong artistic and professional relationships in the visual arts sector.
Chrome Surgery is located in Agrigento, Sicily, where it carries out its main activities.
It hates normality.
