   Performance Into Painting Performance

    by Onajídé Shabaka

David Rohn creates personages that are sharp and witty. And he does it with a feeling of authenticity. When he gets into character, he is there. His paintings, though "curated" are also authentic, in their sense of reality and their presentation to their audience.

Rohn’s new paintings use multiple canvases with composite paintings to create three-dimensional (sculptural) objects.  His familiar figurative images are arranged into geometrically abstract forms, examining two- and three-dimensional spatial relationships, abstraction and figuration and, subject and object.

As Brünte Klaus, renowned Viennese curator and critic, we take a curator's guided tour of the exhibition including, questions and answers from the audience. Ms. Klaus does a marvelous job of the exhibition tour and provides insight into the work she has curated.

The latest performative aspect of Rohn's exhibition introduces the character of Brünte Klaus, a fictitious critic and curator to Miami collectors Herb and Kitty Katzenjammer, first featured in the artist's show back in 2003. His performance is intended as a parallel event that highlights his interest in reconstituting familiar conditions to yield insight and meaning from them.
