Romain Bernini - New Ecstatic Island at Gallery Susanne Tarasieve
Primitive masks, lush exotic plants, mountainous crepuscular landscapes, intriguing postures, face with a missing eye, collapsed dolmen: everything in Romain Berniniʼs paintings seems to come from another place. Not from a distant one, but from one always slightly familiar and always foreign, that is at once already tangible like the masks worn by models in everyday clothes, the exotic plants which resemble those in your florist shop window or even the bizarre movements of dancers which are in fact the daily exercises of the profession.

New Ecstatic Island, Romain Berniniʼs new show at the gallery Susanne Tarasieve partakes of the same intention. One brought up by a painter who, like a static traveller, in the solitude of his studio fantasises about exoticism and questions the concept of otherness in a world where cultural diversity is the product of multiple interactions. What does globalisation mean? What is foreign to oneself? Can I look at a stranger and recognise myself? To further his reflection on the subject, Romain Bernini is revisiting in several paintings, the figure of the exotic bird by excellence: the parrot. Besides its variety, with over 300 species, this bird, thanks to its larynx and its flexible tongue, is able to imitate the human voice, a feast that even the great apes, our “evolutionary cousins” are unable to achieve. With its extraordinary juxtapositions of shimmering colours, the peculiar bird takes centre stage of the picture. Its figure is outlined against undefined backdrops - another trademark of the artist – profusely coloured mysterious places, pure abstract borderline psychedelic paintings from which the still bird is looking back at us.

In front of these visual landscapes, the viewer is left in a state of expectancy, at the threshold of possibility, in a place still far away, but already at almost touching distance, where we are shrewdly reminded that figurative painting occupies a special status in the West, a status that many civilisations have still to embrace. Alain Berland
