There was this game I used to play with Michelle Obama’s autobiography that to this day I still indulge in. It’s a sort of bibliomancy, and Obama’s book is one of those texts where you can turn to virtually any page and find something deeply inspirational. Even as I flip to page one, the preface alone snags me. The first quote I’m staring at basically says it all: “So far in my life, I’ve been a lawyer.

The Italian painter Romana Londi’s obsession with the old masters isn’t typical. Growing up in Rome, she never expected to be so moved by the images of martyrdoms and Catholic relics that populate the city. “I wonder if it would be acceptable today to implant such sexually charged sculptures in the streets,” she comments. Years later, the artist’s fascination with depictions of martyrdom provide the explicit inspiration for her debut solo exhibition, on view until the end of the month in a collaboration show between Rhinoceros Gallery and Nathalie Obadia.
