“As a radically independent artist, Orsten Groom has established himself in a few years as a key player in the young French painting scene, navigating between alternative circles and institutions. His first retrospective was presented this year at the ACMCM contemporary art centre in Perpignan (France) – at only 37 years old. The Berlin exhibition brings together over thirty works, presented in two sections:
– the Large Ensemble of 18 paintings « CHROME DINETTE », a crazed round about the links binding Sigmund Freud and Moses through Ancient Egypt & Sick Poodles – all under the aegis of Frank Zappa;
– A vast Recapitulative Selection of Orsten Groom’s emblematic large formats, a genuine subconscious journey with Parietal Sarcophagus allures.” (Text excerpt from the press release by courtesy of URBAN SPREE Galerie)
