Drawing on mythology, folklore, and popular culture, as well as on moments when the boundaries between the human and non-human, the spiritual and material, and the object and organism dissolve, the group exhibition Shapeshifters brings together artists across generations from Austria, Hungary, Germany, and the Czech Republic. Despite their disparate materials and visual outputs, these artists’ conceptual approaches are anchored in a shared interest in (in)stability, temporality, metamorphosis, and temporary forms of existence. Rather than presenting closed narratives or fixed identities, the exhibition prioritises states of transition and flux.

Greek painter Vasilis Avramidis creates atmospheric oil paintings that exist between memory, architecture, and imagined landscapes. Born in Greece in 1981, his artistic journey led him from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, where he completed his degree in Painting, to London, where he earned his MA in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London in 2011.

His years in London became a defining chapter in his practice—shaping the visual language of his work through the city’s architecture, outskirts, and layered urban atmosphere. These influences continue to appear in his paintings as poetic spaces suspended between stillness and transformation.

Avramidis has exhibited internationally in London, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Athens, Copenhagen, and beyond, with important solo exhibitions including After Hours at Wilder Gallery London, Understory at HIRO Gallery Tokyo, and Host in Tokyo.

His works are held in renowned collections such as the University of the Arts London Collection and the In4Art Rotterdam Collection, alongside significant private collections across the UK, USA, Japan, Greece, Australia, the Netherlands, and Cyprus.

Through his distinctive visual language, Vasilis Avramidis continues to position painting as a timeless medium—where classical references meet contemporary sensibility, and landscapes become psychological spaces of reflection.

THE ONLY TRUE PROTEST IS BEAUTY.

The Fondazione Dries Van Noten will be open in Venice from April 25 to October 4, 2026, launching its program at the iconic Palazzo Pisani Moretta with the exhibition The Only True Protest Is Beauty.
Curated by Dries Van Noten and Geert Bruloot, this ambitious presentation approaches beauty
as a powerful agent of reflection, disruption, and transformation.

RICHARD STIPL



Within this international context, Czech / Canadian artist Richard Stipl (born 1968) assumes a distinctive position with two newly commissioned works created specifically for the presentation. Dries Van Noten selected Stipl for his uncompromising engagement with the human figure and the psychological depth embedded in his sculptural language.

Working with traditional materials such as wood, gesso, and oil paint, Stipl created meticulously crafted
figures that oscillate between lifelike presence and subtle estrangement. His practice, as explored in his dialogue with Edvard Munch at STEINHAUSER Gallery, delves into existential states—vulnerability, introspection, and the fragile boundary between the inner self and outward appearance. The surfaces of his sculptures, carefully built up and painted, intensify this tension, revealing both precision and emotional unease.

In these newly commissioned works, Stipl continues to examine the human condition as a site of instability and reflection. His figures resist clear categorization, opening a space where identity remains fluid and perception unsettled. In doing so, his sculptural practice challenges conventional ideals of beauty, proposing instead a deeply human and psychologically charged alternative that resonates within the broader framework of the exhibition.

Martin Piaček

Born in Bratislava 1972, Martin Piaček is an Visual Artist, Educator, and since 2018 head of the VVV Studio at the Department of Intermedia at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava.
A trained sculptor working across a wide range of media and strategies, he primarily seeks to reinterpret traditional sculptural techniques and materials. While his long-term interest lies in individual and collective memory, as well as in national myths and pantheons - mainly from modern Central European history -
his most recent projects expand toward a broader environmental focus. Alongside his artistic and pedagogical practice, he is involved in numerous curatorial and organizational projects and
provides expertise in the field of public space and memorial politics.
He is also engaged in organizing exhibitions, symposia, and international projects. He works on the dramaturgy of the lecture series Soft Norm: From Historical Awareness to Civic Consciousness in Visual Art (since 2016).
Since 2020, he has been developing the globally oriented publishing project Liquid Dogmas (http://www.liquiddogmas.org).
He is a founding member of the civic association Verejný podstavec (www.verejnypodstavec.com), the exhibition format DiStO (www.disto.sk), and the cultural platform KU.BA (www.kulturnabratislava.sk).
Together with the architectural studio N/A, he is currently working on the realization of the Memorial of Freedom in Veľká Mača (www.slobodaslova.sk). At the same time, he is preparing several other public space projects (Malacky, Jelšava, Trnava, Sans Souci – Iliášovce, Trenčín, Prague).
