øjeRum

Nero Gallery is pleased to present Paw Grabowski in art øjeRum, the Copenhagen artist and musician who has disrupted the world of collage.

His only show titled "Imagine Absence" collects 16 unreleased collages from two different series: Needleshaped Silence and Silent Figure With Landscape. The first series, Needleshaped Silence, depicts subjects from different periods, classic or modern, lost in the abyssal darkness. From their head, half absent, comes a cloud of colored constellations that recalls the immensity around us. These collages are silent tales, suspended over time, where characters become part of the astral world. These starry skies recall the power of thought, its extent in the world and in time and prompt the viewer to question the content of these dreams.

The second series of silent figure with landscape collages reminds the viewer of the themes and romantic atmospheres of the nineteenth century. The landscapes inserted inside the figures through the collage technique, express the movements of their souls, the inner storm that overwhelms them. The characters express the desire to let the environment participate in their mood, to use the forces of nature to express their emotions, their most hidden feelings.

The peculiarity of øjeRum's works is to be able to associate different historical and artistic periods such as ancient sculpture, medieval frescoes, classical paintings or photography, and to make them interact in a new and modern key.

øjeRum is also recognized for his work as a musician where he differs in his surreal, mysterious and poetic universe. His music and art are closely related. These two sides of the artist's work are constantly intertwined, each record being accompanied by a collage of his that illustrates the inner world in the musical work.
