Roman Loranc

• jevad

  Loranc's lens finds a bleakness that is more northern European than Californian in sensibility, with its characteristic brightness. The desolate images variously evoke, among other art forms, the later poetry of Theodore Roethke, a certain well-known opera by Franz Schubert, and the early tempera landscapes of Andrew Wyeth. Sadness, emptiness, dislocation--they are all here, in rather monumental form, and yet so are truth and beauty.
