Roman Ondak’s (b.1966) work evolves from a performative conception and consists of sculpture, installation, photography, drawing and performance. The artist often uses found objects. His medium is the everyday and society’s sets of expectations, assumptions, automatisms and projections that shape our perception of reality.

 

Created on the occasion of the artist's first solo exhibition with the gallery, the work depicts a view of Paris with the Cathedral of Notre Dame. In a reference to the fire of the Parisian landmark in April 2019, bright red clouds rise from the church’s towers and fill the sky. Yet, it is not a characteristic flame or fire cloud that the artist has painted. Rather the color extends upwards and fills the sky in an abstracted T-shape.
