Romana Londi
Romana Londi has developed unique painting practices which include the recto-verso series Happenstance - painted simultaneously on both sides of unprimed canvas and the colour-changing series, Sentient and Jetlag. For these signature series, Londi invented and developed a photo-chromatic medium which responds to the changing intensity of sunlight and shifting shadows. These sentient (rather then merely representational) works are concerned with the immediacy of life, and absorb and manifest their surroundings as sites for transformation. The resulting paintings, or hybrids, gather and sync conflicting realities.
