Gallery FIFTY ONE will present a solo booth by Bruno V. Roels, entitled “The Lounge”. This solo presentation will immerse the visitors of the fair in the artist’s vision and the central themes that inspire him. At the heart of Roels’ work is the palm tree—a symbol that evokes paradise, nostalgia, and the longing for an idealized escape. Through his unique approach, Roels captures the beauty and timelessness of this iconic motif, exploring its layered meanings and inviting reflection on the nature of utopia. “The Lounge” will transform the booth into a metaphorical waiting room for paradise—much like an airport lounge before departure or the serene lobby of an elegant hotel. Visitors will be invited to pause, reflect, and immerse themselves in a contemplative space that captures the essence of transition and anticipation, just as one might await entry into an imagined paradise. In addition to photography, the exhibition will showcase ceramics, limited editions, and collaborative works—offering a comprehensive view of Roels’ diverse artistic practice.
