Ricky Romain is a fine and refined Jewish-English painter. Refined by nature, nuance and meaning; confined neither by middleclass restraints nor by an overly concerned sense of self. He has had some art world success and recognition in his life, but because of the nature of current neoliberal economic, political and cultural controls in our democracies that do not accept the democratic concept of plurality, he has been insufficiently embraced by the Establishment for what he is, one of the great contemporary painters of post-holocaust European culture. This culture continues to be distorted by endless western wars, bombardments, invasions, drone attacks, and regime change of other’s governments and huge numbers of ‘collateral damage’*.
