About this artwork
At the crossroads between abstract and figurative, the show, which features a selection of the last three series of works made between 2017 and 2019, undertakes a journey in the bizarre universe of urban periphery, in the attempt to allegorically recompose the devastating effects of junk invasion and consumerism on our living space.
Edith Torony’s works allude to any peripheric urban area of our globalized world: what mostly strikes in these almost… surrealist compositions, with insertions of pop art, is their strange and familiar air. While looking at them, you cannot but recognize objects, fragments or just allusions to everything that in our urban space is identified as surplus, useless or superfluous. That is, the reminiscences of consumerism, of which we don’t know how to get rid of as soon as possible, and which, most of the times, end by being exiled at the margins of our world, extra muros.

« My work is an ode to chaos and reconstruction, to re-composition, to the reduction of everything to a recycled playground. »
Torony is an emerging Romanian artist who finds artistic inspiration in many of life's details: Books, songs, lyrics, conversations with friends, and her immediate environment - particularly the waste she has observed in the face of urban growth. Her paintings are a fusion of gestural abstraction, surreal scenes, and concrete objects and shapes.
