LUMAS Voices:
Favourites of a Gallerist

Andre Monet’s signature collage technique offers a highly original approach to contemporary portraiture. By layering carefully chosen, meaningful scraps, he unveils hidden facets of his iconic subjects, bringing us intimately closer to these legendary figures. I especially love that he chose Kate Moss’s famous i-D cover as inspiration, cleverly weaving in a layer of fashion history.

Pedro Blas’s Op-Art aesthetic is amplified with the lenticular technique in this multiphase edition. I am mesmerized by the vibrant pulsing of his colors while the central sphere shifts in a fluid dialog, drawing me into its dynamic interplay. As a digital art pioneer, Blas masterfully explores new modes of perception through visual illusion.

NYC is my home, and Sabine Wild definitively captures the kinetic energy of this iconic metropolis within her unique and instantly recognizable impressionistic narrative. Structures flicker and dissolve as we traverse the megacity of Manhattan at night on an electric path of liquid light. Wild’s digitally modified photographs create an abstract visual language that is distinctly hers.

Tal Nehoray’s Pop Art objects immediately caught my eye with their sharp take on Western consumer culture. Happiness and love are artistically dosed, tempting the viewer to "swallow" them for instant fulfillment. I’m captivated by Tal’s process of crafting her ceramic pill sculptures. It is the antithesis of fast-paced, meticulously shaping each of her compelling pieces by hand.
