Brian Singer Available Works

EXiT is pleased to present a selection of works from Brian Singer's ongoing Romance Novels series. Through the process of applying white acrylic paint and gel medium to reclaimed vintage romance novel covers, Singer transforms the original imagery into ethereal abstractions. The applied acrylic paint chemically reacts with the pigment in the cover, obscuring and revealing elements of the source material, creating spectral compositions that interrogate idealized notions of romance. The resulting works emerge as haunting palimpsests, where fragments of the original cover art persist beneath veils of white paint, offering a compelling meditation on the constructed nature of romantic fantasy in popular culture.
