New
York, NY – Priska C. Juschka is pleased to present
Romain
Bernini’s first solo exhibition in the United States. His beautifully
haunting paintings reflect a state of entropy, Robert Smithson’s idea
of the ruins — a dystopian sociological
landscape born of the debris of post modern societies, disillusioned
with the
merits of industrialism and the idea of a utopian state. His
paintings encompass a range of ambiguities, drawing their audience into a
foreboding landscape, simultaneously hovering between the familiar and
the
unknown, the intentional and accidental, between action and paralysis.
The
viewer finds oneself at times alone in a post-apocalyptic environment or
with
other individuals, migrants and immigrants aimlessly or aggressively
overcoming
the artificial boundaries of contemporary civilizations. On exhibition
through 3
July.
