Rebeccah Klodt — Olive You: exhibition at Rossocinabro

On 24 April 2026 Rossocinabro gallery will present Olive You, a piece by American artist Rebeccah Klodt included in the Rossocinabro for Peace initiative. The work employs text and color to shape a message of reconciliation and hope, proposing peace as a daily, practical gesture rather than a loud proclamation.

Why see Olive You

The canvas combines calligraphic text and textured paint: the phrase "Olive you xo" stands out over olive-green and cinnabar-red fields, creating a visual and emotional tension that encourages direct engagement. The piece echoes aspects of abstract expressionism and text-based pop art, blending gestural energy with accessible symbolism.
