Robin Rhode's *Bench Press* is a nine-part series of chromogenic prints capturing the artist's signature blend of performance, drawing, and photography. The work depicts a figure interacting with a drawn or painted barbell rendered on a flat surface, blurring the boundaries between two-dimensional mark-making and physical action. Mounted face-forward on Plexiglas and aluminum, the sequential images take on a cinematic quality, transforming a humble street-art gesture into a meditation on labor, strength, and imagination.
