The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Davor Gromilovic is a visual artist currently residing in Sombor, Serbia (born in Yugoslavia in 1985). Although contemporary drawing represents the primary field of his creative exploration and development, he also shows creative abilities and genuine commitment to other artistic forms such as painting, illustration, graphics, murals, art fanzines, etc. His work is narrative and often inspired by fantastic motives of fairy tales, folk art, pop surrealism, sci-fi, and even by northern renaissance masters of painting, as well as by his personal experiences and inner world. In his work, one notices a dominant use of symbols, his inner world and complex reflections from which he develops ideas and specific intimate aesthetics. Complex, but at the same time purified, strongly imaginative but well-thought-out works adorn this artist’s rich oeuvre.

Heartslob is an artist who seeks to bend light, build atmosphere, and capture the liminal quality of a place alive in the absence of people. These places represent a threshold where humans pass and leave imprints or relics. They evoke the feeling of looking into a portal before entering.

Taegan Treichel is an artist who began painting at the age of 22. Shortly after venturing into painting, he secured commissioned work as an artist, eventually becoming an in-house artist at the Imagineimagine Foundation in Holland in 2017. In 2018, he traveled to China, concluding with a solo exhibition at "The Bookworm" in Beijing in 2019. His education in Paris at the LISAA animation school introduced him to digital tools, leading to freelance work in gaming. Since 2019, he has consistently exhibited and contributed paintings to galleries in Denmark and abroad, including Strandgalleriet in Vejers, 3A in Copenhagen, Adah Rose Gallery in Washington, D.C., Wasuka Art Management in Singapore and The Nanny Goat Gallery in California.

Opening Reception: April 5 / 4 p.m. – 6 p.m.
