Victor Man’s nocturnal paintings will be on view in Notte Oscura, the eighth exhibitionary installment of ‘Conversation Piece’, an annual cycle of exhibitions curated by Marcello Smarelli that features artists who engage with Rome. This group exhibition investigates different ways of conceiving the night. Victor Man’s paintings depict subjects – often figures or still lifes – under a cover of darkness, leading viewers into a timeless and mysterious world that merges the mundane and fantastic.

Work by Victor Man is included in Lacan, the exhibition. When Art Meets Psychoanalysis at the Centre Pompidou-Metz. The ideas of Jacques Lacan are, alongside the work of Roland Barthes, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze, essential for understanding our modernity. While homages and exhibitions have already been dedicated to these intellectual figures, the thought of Lacan has not been dealt with in museums to date, even though he was strongly attached to works of art.
