Robert Bosisio
Robert Bosisio was born in Trodena, Northern Italy in 1963, and after graduating the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, he lived inBerlin, New York, London and pursued his art. Currently he works out of his atelier in his hometown of Trodena.
He is known for his “Interior” series, in which he expresses indoor spaces in various colors and composition, and for portraiture.
His work also includes paintings that pay homage to historical masterpieces and contemporary artists. He explores his motifs bypainting them repeatedly with diﬀerent perspectives and scales.
From within vague outlines and pale tones the motifs emerge ‒ this eﬀect, unique to Bosisio, is a complex strata of diﬀerent textures
created by layering various materials, such as oil, tempera, ash, sand, wax and plaster. Sometimes taking years to complete a piece,
Bosisio pursues the meaning of “seeing” through depth in representation, which changes as the viewing distance changes, and aslight and shadow move on the surface. There is a negotiation between the nature of ﬁgurative motifs, such as landscapes andportraits, and Bosisioʼ s abstraction in itself, subliming his work into a unique territory.
In his career, Bosisio has held solo exhibitions in the National Museum of Art, Cluj-Napoca, (Cluj-Napoca, Romania, 2021), Galerie
Fravi (Domat/Ems, Switzerland, 2020), Gallery Martin Mertens (Berlin, Germany, 2019), Galerie Doris Ghetta (Ortisei, Italy, 2018)
and also Austria, Belgium, and the US. He has won many awards including La Fenice award (Italy), and was selected as a ﬁnalist
in the BP Portrait Award (UK) in 2021. His work has acquired high praise worldwide.

Rudy Cremonini
Rudy Cremonini was born in Bologna, Italy. Since graduating from the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts, he hascontinued to work in the city. In Cremoniniʼ s work, created with thick layers of oil and characteristic brush strokes, we seelandscapes, views of rooms, portraits, and plants and animals ‒ all quite ordinary scenes. However, Cremonini delves into these“ordinary” or “normal” things to reveal contradictions and conﬂicts lying beneath. The scenes he paints are often enclosed in someway, suggesting a kind of limitation, yet the objects and people existing within this limitation are ﬁlled with a sense of life, ofcomplex feeling, and of humour. His creation originates from the joy of exploring the nature of representation itself, a process
which is not ostentatious, but which develops its own charm.
Cremoniniʼ s major exhibitions have been held in galleries including Capsule (Shanghai, China, 2022), Galerie Thomas Fuchs(Stuttgart, Germany, 2021), Semiose (Paris, France, 2021), City Museum of Rimini (Italy, 2019), among others, and also he has
participated in many international solo and group shows held in Italy, America, France, Germany, Belgium, and China. He hasreceived numerous awards and has an international reputation.

Johannes Bosisio
Johannes Bosisio, born in Cavalese (Italy) in 1994, graduated from the Weissensee School of Art in Berlin in July 2020. Since
then, the artist lives in London, where he is pursuing a masterʼ s degree at the Royal College of Art and Design.
Johannes Bosisioʼ s work explores diﬀerent forms of relationship between mankind and machine and the transgressions ofdualism such as the separation of: ﬁgure and ground, body and mind, material and immaterial, organic and inorganic, animals
and machines. He fuses binary forms in order to create hybrids. The combination created by the interaction between humanand machine gives life to cyborgs, humans with boosted physical abilities that enter into symbiosis with their technologicaloﬀ-shoots which, like, prostheses, become extensions of their bodies. Inﬂuenced by the mechanical, repetitive sounds ofelectronic music and dystopic novels, like James Ballardʼ s Crash (1963), Bosisio investigates subjects such as consumerism,technology and machine fetishism with a hyperrealist style ﬁlled with graphic elements. In this exhibition, we are showing newwork from the series “Shapeshifter” , which he has been working on for the past few years. Johannes Bosisio has exhibited hiswork in various solo and group shows in Germany, Italy, UK, Switzerland, and Belgium including Judith Andreae (Bonn, Germany,2021) and Galeria Doris Ghetta (Ortisei, Italy, 2021).

Mircea But
Mircea But was born in 1991 in Baia Mare, Romania and graduated from the University of Art and Design in Cluj-Naopca. In 2014,
he completed a year-long artist-in-residence at SPATUIU INTACT (Cluj-Napoca, Romania), and in the following year was based inGallery Plan B (Berlin) as part of an Erasmus scholarship. While there he produced mainly abstract work. In 2017 he was a resident
artist at Art Factory Gallery (Budapest, Hungary).
Attempting to explore diﬀerent modes of expression, But has been working on ﬁgurative painting since 2018, and belongs to
the “Cluj School” , a school of Romanian art from which many internationally famous artists have emerged. The exhibited pieces
are based on landscapes in Potsdam and Berlin that he photographed while he lived in Germany. They have the form oflandscapes, yet in them But examines an internal state of mind rather than a depiction of reality.
Butʼ s major exhibitions have been held at the National Museum of Art, Cluj-Napoca, (Cluj-Napoca, Romania, 2021),
Viennacontemporary (Vienna, Austria, 2019), Art+Text Budapest Gallery (Budapest, Hungary, 2017) along with many othershows in France, Italy, Austria and Hungary.
