Galleria Triphe in Rome, currently hosting the works of Romeican Revola. In their first single show in Rome, the artists from Bhanwar, Bangalore are demonstrating idols, lenticular installations and enhanced reality artwork.
Over the years, Romeican has created a name for himself as a visual artist, with tasks that highlight the equation of man with nature. While he has tried his hand to use various media, with vortex, Romeican has given independent rein in his experiments with the enhanced reality (AR).
“I first made a small series of AR Art in 2019 and was fascinated by the result. However, during the epidemic, shortly thereafter, this shelter was given. When this opportunity came in Rome, I saw it as an opportunity to detect this medium,” Romikan says.
There is no fault of enthusiasm in his voice because we connect over the phone, a day later the vortex was opened to the public. “I was surprised to see that the elderly reply positively to the performances. Even though we had a ready app on some tabs so that it could be easy for the audience, they were eager to download it and see it on their phone.”

Vortex is an interactive exhibition with an interactive exhibition with about 10 functions of AR Art. “The show has quite large pieces and for one, I have used the entire wall to do an installation. It also has a rug with my artwork – people standing on it believe that they are on a frozen lake and they go around, scan images and work nearby. It is a imperishable experience,” he says, “He says, talk about the show.
Romi, as she is popularly known, states that her favorite piece from AR installation is still an image of four green plastic bottles. “But when you scan it with your phone, it turns into a green jellyfish. Another piece is a patch of denim that sounds floating in the air and when you scan it, it is converted into a denim dragon.”
In detail on imagination, she says, “These things. Such as plastic bottles and denim, exist, because we need them and we consume them, but have a price to pay. There is a price to pay. Rapid fashion is not durable and although we like to wear all jeans, they are intensive of water.”

“I am not justice or not criticizing – these are some things that I would like to talk about, in a fun, attractive way. It has always been my philosophy that they trigger thoughts in the audience’s mind or expose the conversation. Perhaps, when they go back home, they will soon turn off a tap or distract more.”
“I think any art experience is transformational. It cannot move forward, it may not always be clear, but it affects your thoughts and ultimately, your actions.”
Trees, butterflies, and shells are recurring recurring motifs in romi work, and even in the vortex, the butterfly creates an appearance. “This special exhibition plays tension between human activity and flexibility of nature,” says Romi, “Most imagination is about human consumption and transform an object of daily use into an organic object.”

While Emarsiv experience is a major part of Romi’s show, another section of the vortex includes lenticular art. Three -dimensional or 3D art is a way to explain lentikular art in the terms of the common man.

“The show’s title is inspired by one of the pieces. It is the face of a woman in which her eyes are closed; from one angle, you can see leaves, roots and blossom images, while from the other side, no one can see the vortex in a tornado made of plastic bottles,” says Romi.
She says that almost all 10 lenticular works are of female faces, which have a legend on animals or climate change. “On the one hand you will see organic elements and on the other hand, a frozen lake or a tree that is submerged – like the effects and counter effects of what is happening in nature.”
“It is also that whatever nature we do, how it takes and makes a hybrid. It is more flexible as we credits it.
Bhanwar was cured by Galleria Triphe founder Maria Laura Perilli in Rome, and was inaugurated on 10 April 2025. The exhibition that includes 24 pieces by Romicon Revola, including sculpture, Lencular Arts and Promised Reality Institutions, will be on performance until 30 June, 2025.
