There is a blurry line between genius and madness that Rasto Cyprian shows in his art. His artworks depict a man who loses himself in colours and the absurdity of the concepts in his paintings.

“Ephemerals”, his exhibition at Circle Art Gallery, feels like a walk through a mangrove forest in sepia. Vines and branches twist and turn from the undergrowth in the different colours reflecting Rasto's moods. The show is a collage of work that meditates on rejuvenation, decay, and the in between that recognises the vulnerability of these moments.
