Dark and light energies, often thought of as representing the forces of good and evil, are both essential parts of the balance of the universe, and by our moral standards both dependent upon the existence of the other for context and meaning.

[James Romberger] James Romberger is a true maverick of mediums, and may be the only artist in history to have his works featured in both the pages of Marvel comics and the permanent collection of New York’s MET Museum. As one of the most celebrated artists of New York’s 1980s East Village scene, he cultivated a style renowned for its gritty realism and dark allure that has been featured across fine arts, comic books, TV shows, and now web3.  For his first digital collection with OrangeHare, Romberger applies the same approach toward exploring the symbolism and contemporary meaning behind religious iconography, a subject of fascination for the artist.

COLLECTIONS: MUSEUMS Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET), Brooklyn Museum, Newark Museum, Delaware Museum, Philadelphia Museum, Parrish Museum, Harvard Museum, Seoul Museum, and the Library of Congress.

GALLERIES: Grace Borgenicht, PPOW, Gracie Mansion, James Fuentes
