Megan Rooney opening in London

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

The artist's first exhibition at Thaddaeus Ropac, spanning the entirety of the #london gallery's two floors

All new works including large-scale paintings and one monumental canvas, the first of its kind and Rooney's largest canvas painting to-date, celebrating her ability to seamlessly work across differing scales

Megan Rooney’s fascinating ability to tell stories and create a narrative is felt through the various media of her multidisciplinary approach. Always in flux, recurring characters speak to a narrative that is never fixed, the artist addresses urgent subjects of our time and presents each iteration of her work as part of her Gesamtkunstwerk.
— Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, Serpentine Galleries 

Hans Ulrich Obrist and Megan Rooney will be in conversation at the gallery on Thursday 28 September from 6pm discussing the artist's practice and the works on display

The exhibition also features over 20 new works on paper from Old Baggy Root, an ongoing series of surreal portraits exploring figuration and the complex range of emotions experienced in moments of observation

Following recent solo museum shows including at the Salzburger Kunstverein, Salzburg (2020); Museum of Contemporary Art, Toronto (2020); SALTS, Basel (2019); and Kunsthalle Düsseldorf (2019), and as part of the Serpentine Galleries' Park Nights programme in 2018

I imagine myself in flight when I am painting, hovering above the surface and searching for places to land, touching down and lifting off. I do this again and again until the surface starts to collect information… The painting becomes like a capsule, holding the weight of time. — Megan Rooney
