We are pleased to present Romanian artist Marius Bercea’s first solo exhibition in Japan, The Far Sound of Cities, at MAKI Gallery / Tennoz II, Tokyo.

The series of new paintings on view continues two decades of prolific exploration in imaginary landscapes of modernist inspiration, explored through layers of color, architecture and bodies. Intended to recuperate a meditation on past signs of new times, Bercea’s paintings connect to a larger context. In a period in which time stands still from more than one point of view, his extremely dynamic works attest to the need of liquefying the well-known mantras of historical interpretation. As such, they allow for a unique perspective on the actual lived experiences of political regimes, with their projected artistic auras ordered to differentiate them from what was before.
