In WARNINGS, Vancouver based artist Kevin Romaniuk draws from his vast photographic collection to explore a variety of sinister warning signs: painted placards, graffiti, tattoos, strange locations, and abandoned artifacts. These found images indicate a threshold, one that when crossed, might lead towards impending danger, violence, stringent ideology, or obliteration. Interspersed with images of cataclysmic natural disasters, the pages of WARNINGS foretell an ominous future, while also revealing a freedom afforded to those who occupy the fringes of society during these end times.
Kevin Romaniuk’s work explores histories of counter-culture, the occult, stoner mysticism, and outsider knowledge. In addition to his visual practice, Romaniuk also collaboratively runs B.C HYDRA, the ASL, and Rub out the Scum (R.O.T.S), groups dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of rock and roll, freedom of thought, and the wasted.
