18th edition of Drawing Now Art Fair, the contemporary drawing exhibition.
A European fair exclusively dedicated to contemporary drawing.

Roméo Mivekannin, for his first exhibition in Italy, presents a series of paintings on black velvet inspired by Italian art and his own universe. The exhibition combines references to classical masters like Masaccio and Caravaggio, as well as elements from cinema and dance. Through self-portraits, the artist explores the human condition, disrupting power dynamics and creating a visual space in constant transformation.

Roméo Mivekannin revisite des chefs-d’œuvre en y intégrant son autoportrait comme figure noire oubliée, questionnant l’histoire de l’art et ses absences, notamment dans les représentations royales et féminines. Ses œuvres tissent des liens entre mémoire partagée et perspectives contemporaines.

Commissaire d'exposition: Annabelle Ténèze, directrice du Louvre-Lens.
