Additional info:
Raimund Vernica, known under the pseudonym RAID, is an emerging artist from Bucharest, Romania working with painting, drawing, and graphic techniques. RAID’s works at once enrich and reflect the lively urban culture of Bucharest and its growing graphic and street art scenes, with visible traces of the city’s rich history of avantgarde and surrealist practices. RAID constructs detailed, surreal scenarios evoking potent emotional states from full ecstasy to daunting despair. The artist challenges different urban myths, conspiracies, and a contemporary sense of the self’s alienation in poignant allegories. Recent showcases of RAID’s works have taken place at Rotenberg-Uzunov and Galateca in Bucharest.
