ON VIEW | fuchsia’s first institutional show ‘Searching for Light’

Sixi Museum, Nanjing, China | 01 June - 15 August 2023

We are delighted to announce that fuchsia, a multimedia artist who will be participating in Roman Road’s upcoming summer group exhibition EXTREME, will soon be having her first institutional solo show Searching for Light at the Sixi Museum in China.

On display from 01 June through 15 August 2023, Searching for Light will feature an enthralling collection of fuchsia’s latest paintings and drawings exploring themes of memory, presence and dreams.

fuchsia’s artistic prowess is displayed through her expert use of sensuous brushstrokes and rich colours, which combine to create a mesmerizing and thought-provoking subconscious world on the canvas.

Moreover, fuchsia’s oeuvre offers an intimate glimpse into her personal struggles with pressing reality issues, particularly the urgent need to address climate change. Her artwork reflects her unique and imaginative perspective on the world, and she aspires to inspire others to take action through her captivating pieces.

Roman Road Talks: Our Fluid Future

Thursday 18 May 2023 | 6.30 PM

On the occasion of Roman Road’s current group exhibition Under Blue Shade, we are pleased to invite you to join us for an open group discussion focussing on the necessity of fluidity in thought for our collective future, led by exhibiting artists Gaia Fugazza, Zoë Marden and Precious Opara.

Queerness, fluidity and the sea have been long intertwined. The waves are a liminal space, not bound to the rules of the societies on land. Under the blue shade of the sea is a place away from expectations and any labels of society. A space free from categorisation. Imagination. Wonder. Freedom. Boundless.

Speakers will explore themes including the beauty of queer sexuality, notions of water as a collective truth and our universal reckoning with climate change.

Our Fluid Future is a part of programming to accompany Roman Road’s exhibition Under Blue Shade, curated by Mollie E Barnes.

RSVP essential to rsvp@romanroad.com
