ATMOSPHERIC IMPRESSIONS: A RETROSPECTIVE
Christopher Martin

Christopher Martin revisits the defining moments of the artist’s career through a new lens of scale and accessibility. In this collection, Martin presents large-format reproductions of some of his most iconic original paintings.

By translating these compositions into print form and amplifying their scale, each piece takes on a renewed presence. Subtle textures, atmospheric gradients, and expressive gestures are brought forward, offering viewers the opportunity to engage more intimately with works that have defined Martin’s visual language.

This exhibition not only celebrates the legacy of the original paintings, but also expands their reach—bridging past and present through thoughtful reproduction.

YEAR OF THE HORSE
Costa Christ

Year of the Horse marks a bold evolution in Costa Christ’s practice, as he explores new sculptural surfaces through the use of Ferrari hoods and RIMOWA luggage. Known for his ability to merge luxury iconography with contemporary expression, Costa transforms these instantly recognizable objects into striking works of art.

In this exhibition, the Ferrari hood becomes a canvas of power and velocity, while RIMOWA luggage—objects inherently tied to travel and experience—are reimagined. Each piece invites viewers to reconsider the relationship between craftsmanship, material, and meaning.

Year of the Horse speaks to momentum, progress, and endurance—capturing a spirit of forward motion that is both personal and universal, while pushing the boundaries of what defines a contemporary art surface.
