Art Brussels

In awarding the Discovery Prize to Lutniţa gallery (Moldova, founded in 2022), the jury recognises the quality of the presentation showcasing Diana Cepleanu (b. 1957, Romania) and Mihail Șarpe (b. 1992, Moldova). Their original approach pairs two artists from different generations, employing painting and installation through an intuitive and sensitive approach to self-portraiture. The jury agreed that the booth’s installation, balanced in its materiality, highlighted the depth of both artists’ practices with vulnerability arising from their dialogue.
