HART HAUS welcomes a visiting gallery to host a 3-day pop up at G/F HART HAUS that blends nostalgia, culture, and art. A coherent exhibition traveling from Tokyo and titled “Pizza & Champagne,” this is a debut solo exhibition of Nicolás Romero Escalada (b.1985, Argentina) in Hong Kong presented by MORFO Galería,Spain. MORFO Galería is an ultra contemporary art gallery with a base in Madrid, Spain, dedicated to explore the intersection between visual and culinary arts. Founded by Lisandro Illa & Asesina Suárez, gallery owners came from culinary and textile art disciplines, at the same time they are the masterminds behind the plant-based menu at the hottest bar in town, Peridot at The Henderson.
This newest series of paintings by the artist invites you into a vivid recollection of childhood spent in Argentina during the 90s. The event will showcase Artworks inspired by the “Parripollo’s” calendar, first unveiled in Tokyo and now making its Hong Kong debut. Each piece captures the essence of a joyful, albeit fleeting, era, inviting viewers to reflect on their memories while exploring the themes of aspiration and nostalgia.

About the Artists 藝術家簡介
Nicolás Romero Escalada (Buenos Aires, 1985) began more than twenty-five years ago signing Ever and doing graffiti on the streets of his hometown, a city that was experiencing the aftermath of an eight-year military dictatorship and which at that time understood street art as a space for freedom of expression.
Currently, Nicolás Romero has been developing his practice focused on studio work through images as a form of social reflection and anthropological research. He works with traces he finds in his immediate context, the result of the social fabric and symbols born from the coexistence of social, cultural, and economic factors. Religious images, political symbols, contemporary icons, and everyday elements form part of these compositions, which he uses as a bridge to discuss more complex realities.
Romero has had solo exhibitions at Ochi Projects (Los Angeles), The Diogenes Club (Los Angeles), Galería Varsi (Rome), Galería Libertad (Querétaro), and Dinámica Gallery (Buenos Aires). He has participated in group exhibitions at Studiocromie (Italy), Marian Cramer Projects (Amsterdam), Fir Gallery (Shanghai), and Cerquone Gallery (Madrid), as well as in other countries such as France, South Africa, Austria, Australia, Mexico, and the United States.
