Nara Roesler presents Rodolpho Parigi at WINDOW, with works on view at 91 Walker Street, in Tribeca, New York. Currently based in the city, where he works in a studio at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, Parigi presents a recent group of works that explores the fluidity and transfiguration of the body, destabilizing the boundaries between the natural and the artificial.
Drawing on references from art history, fetishist aesthetics, queer experience and pop culture, his works question conventional conceptions of identity, corporeality and representation. Known for his vibrant production, marked by surrealist elements and encompassing painting, drawing and performance, Parigi combines technical virtuosity and a singular visual language, which dissolves the boundaries between figuration and abstraction, the familiar and the strange.
