A glimpse on contemporary culture

What is this all about?

Metropolis is a fanzine, a curatorial concept, an artistic hub, a wannabe art gallery.

It’s an ongoing project with no labels nor boundaries. 

Metropolis is a space of freedom where everybody engages with creativity in their own way. 

In our view, the ultimate meaning of the artistic practice is to stimulate critical thinking and foster social progress.
Art must raise questions rather than give answers for it has the power to open minds and inspire people. 

Social engagement through art is our mission. Storytellers and jesters our masters. Beauty our sacred value. Sharing ideas our final purpose.

“Choosing to be apolitical in times of political and moral turmoil is a political act rooted in privilege”. Art is a powerful tool that can drive social progress. We believe that artists have the responsibility of addressing societal issues in their work and we, as gallerists, have the responsibility to support them. “I’m a dreamer, my art (street art, digital art and painting) is a vision, my vision of the world as I want it to be: a mix of cultures and people who are more than just races. A world where we dare to believe and we can achieve whatever we are dreaming of. Most of my creation plays with portraits, patterns and messages to express this vision.” Collectors play a key role within the art industry. By inspiring a new generation of conscious and engaged collectors we support artistic and social progress. I am having fun creating few moodboards inspired by Art Deco. Systemic race inequality, gender inequality, huge pay gaps…Those among others are the issues within the art system we want to challenge. I started using painted threads some years ago, to visualise outside the body the memories, histories, emotions that we carry inside. In general, to me, they resemble connection and overlap, and I sometimes tie figures or objects together through strings to signify the ways in which we are in some ways all connected to each other and everything around us.
