Roam is pleased to announce our first solo exhibition “Being (Loved)“with LIC-based photographer and writer Paul O’Malley,on view from Oct 26,2023-Jan 31,2024.

Perceiving love is an innate capacity;we grasp it through words,glances,gestures,and even through art,words,creation,or simply the existence of love in a certain moment.Whether it’s familial,friendly,or romantic love,we collectively experience a profound sense of this unique human emotion.Experiencing “love”sincerely allows us to feel and savor the essence of life.

The language of photography used by artists embodies an aesthetic of fleeting moments.Photography captures the ephemeral,yet the impact it leaves endures as the enchantment of the artist’s creation.

Roam’s winter photography exhibition now leads the viewer from the grand perspective of looking at love to the microscopic experience of sensing it.This winter at Roam,follow the route,immersed into a story about “love”!

• From the artist
  Love is an intricate tapestry that enriches our lives,often in ways that go unnoticed.”Being (Loved)”isn’t just a showcase of affection,but an exploration into the subtle language of love that permeates everyday experience.Whether it’s a quiet moment of friendship,the simple beauty of nature,a flash moment that makes you smile,each photograph serves as a reminder that love isn’t confined to grand gestures or poetic verses.It’s in the mundane, in the routine,and in the spaces we least expect.As you walk through this gallery (and love the desserts),think about how love speaks to you daily,often whispering instead of shout- ing,waiting quietly for you to take notice.
