Ro2 Art is proud to present Revelations, an exhibition of new work by artist Joachim West. A window into Joachim West's evolving artistic journey amid a profound cultural and technological transformation, the exhibition "Revelations” unveils a collection of works that challenge human’s simplistic perceptions of nature.

Joachim West's latest show, 'Revelations,' is whimsical, immersive, and bitingly humorous, challenging audiences' perceptions and preconceived ideas. West, “a lifelong “full-time” artist… has mastered many different mediums and styles and doesn’t feel constrained to any single one, often mixing them together. For Joachim, when it comes to making art, there are no rules.” Joachim’s art has at times captured the attention of the press both nationally and internationally. His work has been featured on CBS News, Yahoo News, Channel 5 News United Kingdom, Artnet, the Dallas Morning News, The Independent, D Magazine, The Dallas Observer, Arts & Culture and numerous other publications. Joachim’s work has been displayed at the Meadows Museum of Art and at various other private and public art spaces nationally and internationally. Through a dynamic interplay of narrative, social critique, and playfullness, West's creations shift between moments of levity and introspection, characterized by intricate detail and deliberate abstraction. As a dedicated artist, Joachim's portfolio has many pieces that transcend traditional boundaries, thanks to his adept use of mediums and styles. Through a blend of paintings and drawings, Joachim presents a world where humanity is engrossed in creating a fantastical realm, oblivious to the plight of Mother Earth and her inhabitants. Despite their immersion in this alternate reality, humans continue to exploit natural resources for their desires. West's ability to portray social criticism with a sense of lightheartedness results in art pieces that are simultaneously profound and playful. The hyper-detailed compositions in "Revelations" capture the solemnity and whimsy of the human experience, inviting viewers to contemplate the complexities of contemporary existence through a unique artistic lens. “This exhibition: “Revelations,” reflects the mind and the practice of Joachim West over several years as the world undergoes a momentous cultural and technological shift. The main body of work featured in “Revelations” is a body of paintings and drawings that attack a common and naïve view of nature where “Mother Earth” is seen as a primarily caring and loving protector and humans are seen as inherently good, noble and peaceful. While Joachim’s work often focuses heavily on narrative and social criticism, it also embraces frivolity.”
