ROMs | lou jaworski and michael venezia

The ROMs exhibition with artists Lou Jaworski (*1981 in Warsaw, Poland) and Michael Venezia (*1935 in New York, USA) presents sculptures, paintings and works on paper that show, in a very individualistic way, the evident interest in material qualities and formal-processual reduction. In the dialogue between these two artistic positions, the rational balancing of compositional elements with and against each other becomes obvious. Beyond dealing with geometric abstraction and grids, the exploration of color by Michael Venezia or Lou Jaworski’s ferrite magnet, further identifies the physical independence of the materials as an essential facet of the conceptual basis of these works.

We thank Häusler Contemporary Zurich and Galerie Greta Meert for their collaboration.
