5. CONCEPT
What value does the image within the work of art have today? Many contemporary artists have returned to the themes of painting, drawing on the imagery of the history of art and life. Painting is an artistic genre that continues to belong to the contemporary: we would like to investigate it, through a double exhibition of two
young people linked to the CreArt network. We are very interested in research related to drawing and those that focus on the human body and its declinations.
