Almost every work has a clear center line, a central event stage that balances the right side of the drawing with the left. The most outstanding element is the symmetry. The perspective battles with the flatness that has been forced upon it. The space strays beyond the walls, and its dimensions are unclear and do not conform to any rules. Yet often the constructed architecture bursts out into nature. In some the space can be identified: the interior of a synagogue, a temple, a bedroom. Their attention to detail has yielded crowded drawings teeming with situations and occurrences, creating a full and explosive kaleidoscope of images, animals, furniture and architectural items reflecting off one another and shattering/splitting in the mirrors mounted on the sides.Įach drawing contains an inner space built in a different architectural
The pen-and-ink drawings are the result of harmonious collaboration between these two autodidactic artists. INSTAGRAM: series of works by identical twins Nil and Karin Romano is a spectacular fantasy in four hands.
Romano often use themselves as a reference to create imaginative female characters, something particularly visible through their black and white series of drawings. Their creations are mutual and simultaneous and their style is intense, ritualistic and cult-like, dealing with beliefs and religion, relationships between women, magic, as well as with the power of emotions. As they explain, “being introverts by nature, we found in art a way to communicate our messages to the world”. They explain that such ideas resulted from a long period of depression and, therefore, of isolation from society. Their interest revolves around the complexity of human soul and emotions and they communicate these notions through motifs such as chaos, ritualism and nihilism. For the artists, each work is an opportunity to narrate a story of their inner world. The use of strong and bold colours, together with the dark, surrealistic scenes that they unfold through their paintings capture the viewer’s eye and imagination. However, they do not restrict themselves into a particular medium they also create works using pen or ink on paper. Creating together with harmony and completing each other, they work primarily with acrylic & oil paint on large canvas surfaces. Nil & Karin Romano are twin female painters, as well as DJs, based in Tel Aviv.
