Read More Print EditionsMichal Rovner often meditates on histories of displacement and notions of identity in her practice, which spans drawing, printmaking, sculpture, installation, and video. Two prints by the artist, editions of which will be sold in Pace’s Geneva gallery with proceeds donated to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, examine experiences of migration. Imbued with ambiguity, these politically and socially engaged works eschew references to a specific time or location, reflecting the universal and collective nature of historical memory. Michal Rovner, Untitled, 2019, archival pigment print, 48.3 cm × 32.9 cm (19" × 12-15/16") Learn More Featuring two images of classical statues at its center, this 2019 archival pigment print by Rovner incorporates abstract and figurative elements. Set against an intensely red, nonspecific landscape, the central sculptures face one another, lending the work a sense of balance and symmetry. These figures tower over and are partly reflected in a hazy scene below, where zig-zagging lines of silhouettes move through a vast, unknown space. Dynamic and rhythmic, this work exemplifies Rovner’s ability to reflect on pressing and current issues while maintaining otherworldliness and mystery in her compositions.

Depicting images of a large-scale figurative sculpture and ornate architecture overlaid with a mesmeric, abstracted landscape, the work explores issues of displacement. The lower third of the artwork features straight and intersecting lines of migrating, anonymous figures represented as silhouettes. Speaking to the universality of the human condition, the work addresses the ongoing global refugee crisis without allusions to a specific time or a single place.

By recording and erasing visual information, where specifics of time and place are obscured, her works become gestural, layered, and abstract reflections on the continuum of human experience.Learn More Cristina DaviesCristina Davies is the Executive Director of Switzerland for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency's national partner in Switzerland.
