Art for Ukraine
01 APRIL 2022 - 25 APRIL 2022Notes
‘My surroundings, the city, and the public space are my most valuable source of inspiration. Silhouettes taken from pop culture appear which are pushed to the limit of what is recognizable. Chipped surfaces and semi-deserted industrial zones are full of treasures.’ - Xavi Ceerre
