Effractions is the second solo exhibition by Roméo Mivekannin, on display at the Galerie Cécile Fakhoury until November 26, 2022. The artist invites us to encounter the plurality and richness of his artistic universe as a snapshot of his work, multidisciplinary and ambitious, playing with materials and seeking to disrupt the established boundaries of disciplines between them. The exhibition will present paintings, ceramic sculptures, and a monumental installation, as many materials that dialogue with each other and testify to the bewitching metamorphoses of the artist. For the time of this show, the gallery space becomes a theatre, where the artist and the public are invited to replay history in their way, to reclaim the representations of which they have been the object. Romeo Mivekannin chooses to invite himself where he is not expected and to thwart the place that has been assigned to him. He breaks into the space of European Orientalist painting, both plastically through his self-portrait and symbolically through the reversal that this reinterpretation implies, from a suffered gaze to a chosen gaze.
