LET 🤹🏻 ME 👀 STARE 💫 AT 👻 THE 🔮 MIRAGE 🌤️

Opening a temporary art print shop for a month and a half in the grand window at Artichoke Coffee Shop.

This year’s theme is about vision, but more strongly about belief. A mirage is as powerful as you let it be, so on an optimistic note, we rounded up a series of works that promise a sense of hope.

The selection brings together works on paper from fine-art photography, linocuts and block prints, crayons, pastels, lenticular art and a mirror.

Works from Anca Tintea, Bogdan Girbovan, Chris Devour, Clara Caradimu, Claudiu Popescu, Dariana Ilie, Diana Anghel, Dragos Hanciu, Lucian Barbu, Magiumba, Marco Verhoogt, Mircea Topoleanu, Radu Remus-Romeo, Serban Mocanu, Surrogate Selves and Toma Hurduc.
