On New Romanticism draws on Max Hollein's 2005 theoretical framework to bring together artists engaged with a concept of two-sided beauty — one that captures everyday experience alongside an imagined other world, both timeless and quotidian. Works by Sebastián Espejo, Andrew Cranston, Oda Iselin Sønderland, Noorain Inam, Maude Maris, Cate Pasquarelli, and Elizabeth Jaeger share a playful approach to scale that contributes to a distorted, illusory sense of coexisting realities — developing, in Hollein's words, "provocative poetic counter-worlds" that never forget the abysmal and uncanny lurking behind every idyll.
