Laura Darbutaitė (1)

Family day at the beach I. Šventoji, 1964, 2025, Screen print on steel and silk, 50x25cm, €1500

Here, the artist selected a photograph from a personal archive, cropping and resizing it to draw attention to details often passed over.  The formal representation of a rather sentimental image, personally resonates and is intimate or important yet presented in a formal “cold” way.

 

Maria Lunetto (2)

Safety Net 1 & 2, 2024, Fabric, thread, and wire, 30 x 40 cm, €490 each

Safety Net 1 and Safety Net 2 delve into the delicate and often illusory nature of the safety nets we construct for ourselves. The artworks feature loose, incomplete nets, their fragility and gaps starkly visible. These nets represent the coping mechanisms we often create as a means to feel secure in the face of uncertainty or vulnerability.

 

Annabel Paran (3)

Studies for relics from speculative ecologies : Butterfly fossils, Sand casting, 25 x 15 cm, 320€ each

Legs, Aluminum, cotton, leather, plastic., 50 x 30 x 50 , €420
