A Vilaseca doors opens its annual exhibition calendar with “Crypto Carnival“, the artist’s first solo show Randolph Lamonier in Rio de Janeiro. With a critical text by Bernardo José de Souza, the exhibition presents a set of works set against the backdrop of a carnival in the midst of a financial, geopolitical and environmental crisis.
Bringing together around 30 works produced over the last five years, including previously unseen works, the exhibition's narrative is built on the approximation of different materials and techniques that are part of the artist's repertoire, such as textiles, assemblage, silkscreen printing, painting, video and neon.
The works enunciate a field of sensations as broad as their technical variety: from the intimate scenes described by the still lifes of the Bittersweet Haiku series, to the excesses of misinformation, click-baits and digital noise in Scroll Series, passing through the unusual sarcasm of Tropicália Lixo Lógico.
In this section of Lamonier's recent production, historical and mythological characters and pop culture figures coexist in the excesses of a post-apocalyptic carnival spread across the streets of a Brazil that is melting under a world that is collapsing.
