Roman, who attended the Parsons School of Design, has been creating this body of work for the past two and a half years. Roman has been exploring the connection and similarities between the World Wide Web and the Wild Wild West. This current exhibition includes eight new works comprised of colorful imagery, bold shapes, and familiar icons that bring in the viewer to points of exploration and nostalgia. WWW. will be on view from August 16 through August 31, 2018 at Catinca Tabacaru Gallery located on 250 Broome Street, with an opening reception held on Thursday, August 16 from 6-8 pm.

Artist Statement

This work is a union between two very different worlds that ultimately live by the same rules of lawlessness. This WWW series raises the importance to question the nuances of the past in order better understand our current motivations. Through a patchwork of narratives, WWW. becomes a reflection of our experiences in what we call the new digital frontier.
