"Standard Canvas"

Lusvardi Art is pleased to present the group exhibition “Standard Canvas”. The exhibition title implies an object, a material used for art. The battlefield of painting since centuries: Painting is done on it.

How do contemporary artists react to a canvas (a standard canvas: sold by a large art supply store, produced in China, standard size 30x40 cm, mass-produced...) when they approach the object critically and use it as the starting material for a new work?

The exhibition gathers 22 artists who translate the question into different artistic concepts. 22 artistic positions that have created a completely independent and de-contextualized work from an identical material; a standard canvas.
