Roxy Peroxyde’s latest triptych, “Make It Make Sense,” presents a compelling exploration of belief and personal struggle through a series of intense, emotionally charged portraits. Each painting in the series features the same subject—a figure whose expression grows increasingly intense as the narrative unfolds. The phrase “I Want to Believe” appears as a tattoo on the subject’s arm, symbolizing the deep-seated desire for understanding and meaning that drives the series.
The triptych format, historically used in religious art, provides a profound framework for this exploration. By employing this traditional structure, Peroxyde amplifies the emotional and philosophical depth of the work, allowing viewers to engage with the escalating intensity of the subject’s journey. Each panel acts as a window into the evolving inner turmoil and quest for clarity, inviting a deeper reflection on the nature of belief and the search for significance.
Peroxyde’s work resonates with her own experiences and observations about the human condition. Her vivid reinterpretations of classic art often bridge the gap between historical themes and contemporary issues, offering fresh perspectives on timeless questions. In "Make It Make Sense," she captures the universal struggle to find meaning, whether through religious faith or personal introspection.
A self-taught painter from Montreal, Canada, Peroxyde is known for her vibrant color palettes and modern takes on iconic art. Her previous works, which reimagine classic masterpieces with a contemporary twist, showcase her ability to infuse historical art with new relevance. This series continues her exploration of how art can reflect and challenge our understanding of complex themes.
Join us this Thursday at Guy Hepner Gallery for the unveiling of Roxy Peroxyde’s “Make It Make Sense.” The opening reception will take place from 6 to 8 pm, providing an opportunity to meet the artist and experience her latest thought-provoking work.
