Iulia Ghiță's Hypnotic Video Works and Paintings at AlbumArte in Rome

AlbumArte in Rome is presenting a solo exhibition of Romanian-born, Abruzzo-based artist Iulia Ghiță (b. 1986, Oltenița). The show features videos, paintings, and drawings that explore liminal moments with a panoptic, reductionist gaze. Ghiță's video works, described as hypnotic and rarefied, are considered more painterly and convincing than her canvases, which rely on strong, central subjects. The artist excels in visual loops and depictions of vegetal tangles and atmospheric tremors, tackling difficult subjects with grace and power. The review by Pericle Guaglianone suggests Ghiță should focus on these strengths and move away from territories that are not her own.
