Russian Prison Tattoo Flash Studies: Suicidal Tendencies Homage Drawing

Richard Rossetto is a modern artist who embodies the raw urgency of contemporary expression. His practice carries the grit of punk attitude—art that doesn’t just hang quietly on a wall, but strikes with the force of a gesture, leaving audiences shaken and awake. Known for his stream‑of‑consciousness word drawings—often morose, foreboding, and unflinchingly honest—Rossetto illuminates the unspoken interrelations between humankind and the world around us. His work moves fluidly between fine art and performance, shifting from traditional renderings to radical experiments in social media art. Having lived the artist’s life, Rossetto insists that ART IS LIFE. He is equally at home in the intensity of a cage fight, the stillness of a beach, or the solitude of the studio. Each piece is singular, a one‑of‑a‑kind transmission from a being who is, in his own words, more human than human.
