Christian Roncea (b.1998) is a Romanian/American artist and curator living and working in The Hague, NL. Graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague (KABK) in 2020 as a Bachelor in painting, Roncea has consistently developed a personal practice across different mediums. Their work is characterized by a fluid and versatile approach to painting which results in intricate and colorful representations of a fantastical underworld. The themes revolving around his work are part of an ever-growing research on trickster archetypes and their role in society. The interest in these subjects derive from a desire to demystify the perception of art, to disrupt outdated narratives and to question the Status Quo within the art world. Roncea’s curatorial practice comes as an extension of their artistic practice which started with the offsite guerrilla exhibition series Dharma Initiatives (2020) to more recent curatorial projects such as Corporate stoner (2022) and Nothing Sacred (Ongoing).
