This first exhibition introduces a present dialog between eight promising local and
international artists who deserve notice and that will be showcased in the gallery annual
program.
It includes Swiss artist Sophie Ullrich, whose new paintings combine comic-like figures, Pop
Art influences and consumer culture painted in a hyper-realistic style. Her strange and naïve
protagonists are often reduced to minimal outlines and form the connection between
narration, abstract elements and schematic backgrounds. Gustavo Bar Valenzuela realistic
works are rooted in the classical traditions of the old masters but depict contemporary
thematic that reflects on ecological issues and on the aftermath of the consumer culture.
In her own satiric approach, New York photographer Margeaux Walter also tackles humanenvironment
relationship in her new series 'Don't be a Square', using her own body and
staging site-specific interventions to express both a deep connection with the land and at
the same time a disconnect. On her journey to escape modern life chaos, French-Israeli artist
Jessica Moritz translates the reflections of light into matter, taking form in shapes, lines and
color harmonies. Her 3D-paintings on canvas and wood aim to present utopic landscapes,
inspired by color theories and architecture.
Young Kazakh artist, Sayan Baigaliyev aims to embed the spectator into scenes captured
from the everyday. His painting explore the spaces of modern life through his distinctive
compositions, while he deals with three-dimensionality and aims to disrupt the laws of
perspective and proportions. Evgeny Merman abstract oil paintings are part of his tribute to
Mark Rothko, using image and color as a channel to communicate human emotions.
In an attempt to deconstruct the Middle Eastern female identity through the female gaze,
Elsa Ers Brosh uses the feminine figure as an anchor for her recent paintings. Whilst reading
as a love letter to the female form, the body of work seamlessly transitions between
figuration and abstraction. Sara Shira Cutler's oil paintings look into human chaos, blurring
the line between imagination and reality.
