Convergent Lines at Galerie L’Appartement showcases a dynamic blend of expressive canvases by Mariana Oushiro alongside pieces by Jojo Corväiá, Maarten Vrolijk, and Marius Ritiu. This exhibition delves into the crossroads of art, sculpture, and design, emphasizing the role of materials, processes, and architectural influences. Marius Ritiu’s monumental sculptures, Jojo Corväiá’s meditative ceramics, and Maarten Vrolijk’s delicate lighting fixtures and vases engage in a dialogue with Mariana Oushiro’s gestural and geometric paintings. Together, these works create a choreography of contrasts, balancing heaviness and lightness, permanence and movement, structure and spontaneity.

The group exhibition DREAM UP, curated by Séverine Redon, features over 40 works by 23 artists. In a world facing crises, it seeks to reimagine our connections with life, matter, and time through the lens of dreaming. The artworks blend dream and wonder, reviving ancient and intuitive knowledge to offer an expanded consciousness. Here, dreaming becomes a gentle yet profound commitment, a gateway to other worlds.
Henrik Eiben’s creations blend painting and sculpture using materials such as glass, steel, wood, and textiles. His work delves into geometry, color, and materials, blurring the lines between opacity and transparency, and invites a subtle dialogue with the audience.
