Joram Roukes Solo show 6th - 28th April

April 5, 2012  private viewing @ 18 h - 21 h // April 6, 2012 until April 28, 2012  open to public // Signal Gallery // London

Joram Roukes is a very special young artist whose elaborate paintings seem to encapsulate, in an intriguingly oblique way, the sense of a fractured society. To achieve this, the artist's aim has been to combine technical and stylistic elements to his paintings that are disconcertingly complimentary and contradictory. For example, the frequent use of anthropomorphic imagery in his work, at times points to lost innocence and vulnerability, but can also be a metaphor for violence and anger. The result is a unique style, both powerful and sensitive.

Joram Roukes is a very special young artist whose elaborate paintings seem to encapsulate, in an intriguingly oblique way, the sense of a fractured society. Despite the eclectic references and trompe l’oeil effects, Roukes’ still defiantly celebrates in his works, the age-old act of painting with oils.
