David Maljkovic

David Maljkovic Work from his oeuvre. “Maljkovic’s art is open and fluid: the narrative structure of the episodes from which it is composed can be manipulated and reordered.

Jana Gunstheimer

Jana Gunstheimer Work from Status L Phenomenon. “Darkness is a constant refrain in Jana Gunstheimer’s consistently black-and-white drawings and aquarelles.
