Brooke Benington is pleased to present Romance Apocalypse, a solo exhibition by Maria Szakats that probes the layered nature of intimacy, exploring the nuances of beauty and vulnerability within both personal and cultural spheres. The exhibition will be at Brooke Benington’s Fitzrovia gallery at 76 Cleveland Street, London W1T 6NB from 29 November 2024 - 25 January 2025. The public opening will take place on Thursday 28 November from 6-8 pm. The exhibition’s title - partly inspired by a slogan on a t-shirt gifted by her partner - balances emotional warmth and intellectual reflection, echoing the questions posed by theorist Eva Illouz in Consuming the Romantic Utopia. Through this dual reference, Szakats invites viewers to consider the intersections of romantic ideals and societal pressures as they emerge in our closest relationships.
