From urban to contemporary
The exhibition themed “from urban to contemporary” showcases an eclectic variety of artwork. These range from paintings, sculptures, installations, photography to video art, created by key-players of the contemporary Urban Art movement. It highlights a snap-shot of their current artistic development as well as the story behind an up-and-coming artist generation, whose roots lay in the Graffiti and Street-art culture. The featured artists matured their work into the international art and gallery scene, continuously advancing their artistic expression, techniques, orientation and professionalism. They have evolved beyond their street-art roots, emancipating their picture language from sub-cultural ties of their early years into an own representative and unique style.

Urban Art EFX includes diverse cultural activities that will attract a broad range of visitors including: two art workshops for young people, an outdoor poster exhibition, several live mural paintings, an event of live canvas painting following an art auction for a social cause, a club night that will feature: video art installations, a photo exhibition and light-painting.
Also EFX will include an urban art & gallery city tour, a separate event with artist’s presentation and podium discussion about his work and urban art as well as a family day including several guided exhibition tours of the gallery.
