Roemer’s paintings are not visualizations or illustrations subservient to science. It’s more a matter that multiverses are not abstract concepts for the artist, who accepts the implication of Albert Einstein’s assertion: “The distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion.” His overall compositions are jam-packed with elements that mark different places and times in his life with his consciousness as the nexus. While there may be a hint of a background and perspectival lines, these are almost there to be defied, as his mixture of exotic, ordinary, foreign, erotic, historical, actual, and archetypal snippets are scarcely contained. Assuming a panoramic point of view, Roemer puts figures where he can fit them in with scale being of no importance. His bright-colored, phantasmagoric concoctions push forward to the picture plane, creating a relationship between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional that allows for yet more.
