INHERITANCE
in black & white
by Mike Rossi
2018
This black & white series presents a considered selection from Mike Rossi’s Inheritance, where portraiture, gesture
and environment come together with remarkable clarity.
Removed from the descriptive pull of colour, attention settles on presence, expression and the quiet force of lived
circumstance. The people within these photographs are not observed as subjects apart,
but encountered as individuals held within the dignity of their own spaces.
Released by OPENPAGE STUDIO as a legacy collection, each photograph is offered as a limited edition of 20,
individually numbered and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by the studio.
These photographs form a selected black & white editioned series from Inheritance, drawn from Mike Rossi’s wider original body of work and released by OPENPAGE STUDIO as part of his legacy collection.
Across portraiture, gesture and domestic setting, the removal of colour allows attention to settle on presence,
endurance and the quiet authority of lived experience.
Encountered as a complete sequence, this considered selection speaks not only of hardship, but of dignity,
resilience and the human inheritance passed from one generation to the next.
