To coincide with the 60th edition of the Venice Biennale, Roman Road is pleased to present The Sound of Many Waters, a solo exhibition curated by Marisa Bellani dedicated to the young Thai painter Channatip Chanvipava. Staged in the intimate setting of a 17th-century Venetian ‘dimora’ the exhibition unveils eight new works exploring identities, belonging and subjective memory.
Aligning with this year’s Biennale theme Foreigners Everywhere, Bellani turns to water as a powerful reference to address the concepts of queer identity and connection in a divided world. These are vibrantly expressed in Chanvipava’s work which navigates queer sensibilities with immense power and emotion. Water, in this instance, becomes a symbol of both connection and division, resonating with the complexities of queer identity.
The exhibition will be on view at Dimora ai Santi
