Romina Bassu's 'Monday blues' at Studio Sales in Rome
Romina Bassu (Rome, 1982) presents her new solo exhibition 'Monday blues' at Studio Sales di Norberto Ruggeri in Rome. The show features paintings of women exhausted by a sexist and punitive world, forced to play the role of compliant pin-ups. Bassu's figures are suspended in seemingly hospitable yet claustrophobic atmospheres, captured by the artist's voyeuristic gaze. The works explore psychological toxicity, portraying women as celibate machines or idle appliances, embodying a distant, off-putting dream. The exhibition runs at Studio Sales, curated by Norberto Ruggeri.
