What do you have upcoming?
Between July 1st and August 1st, 2025, Elite Art Gallery will host the exhibition Feast of Artefacts, featuring works by the three guest artists who also served as jurors for the 8th edition of the #FRESH competition: Sabina Ana Drinceanu, Andrei Alecsandru Pantea, and Teodor Ștefan. Feast of Artefacts is an exhibition about the way we live and feel reality today — a universe saturated with images, messages, fast-paced rhythms, and shifting identities. In this context, the works of the three artists become artefacts of an accelerated world, where order and chaos sit at the same table. The exhibition unfolds as a journey through three moments of emotional consumption, inviting the viewer to take part in a visual feast of the contemporary world.
