Egon Rusina Moroder

Egon Rusina Moroder (born 15 July 1949 in Urtijëi, Val Gardena) is an Italian painter and illustrator from South Tyrol.

In collaboration with other artists from South Tyrol, exhibitions were created in Bolzano ( Pavilion De Fleur ), Merano ( Town Hall Gallery ) and Bressanone ( Palais Palfi ).

[4] In a collective exhibition in 1983 at Schloss Prösels near Fiè allo Sciliar, his witch-burning installation was thrown into a cellar and cut down because of its disturbing nature.

Due to a video installation, Rusina was accused by the prosecutor of defaming the state religion and obscenity, he was later absolved by an examining magistrate.

Rusina completed his work in the style of Fantastic Realism with the presentation of the Nemesis series at the Art Forum Gallery in Merano in 1999.

Rusina at that time gave his production the name of heart made of stone, in order to express his feeling for nature in the title of the same exhibition.

[9][10] The work of the artist Rusina is characterized by discomfort in the society of South Tyrol and at the same time by the attraction of his Ladin homeland and mountains.

From the satire, the caricature or the cartoon and fantastic realism, his work came to monochrome painting, which, according to Rusina, represents the calm, death and infinity of nature.
