In Supersonic Melancholia, New York-based French artist Roman Cochet explores the bleak realization of humanity’s destructive impact on the planet.
Using painting, video, and sculpture, Cochet conveys the fractured relationship between humans and all other living beings. Questioning what remains after something disappears, he imagines a world where everything could vanish before our eyes.
Layered with architectural symbols, vanishing animals, and vegetation ruled by accelerating entropy, Cochet’s paintings linger in a state of suspension. They create a sense of urgency to cease our current culture of excess.
The exhibition, curated by Lola Siena, is a timely call to restore and protect our symbiosis with nature.
