ARTROOMS fair is the best place to discover up-and-coming artists, presenting collectors and art enthusiasts with a chance to support the unique and original artworks of international, independent and talented artists.With a “Taste of what’s to come”, we are delighted to exhibit ten international artists such as mysterious Patricio Bosich painting, enigmatic Jean Luc Almond’s portrait and Maarteen van den Bos special textures, passing through the tribal Nataniel Moiane’s representation, the last Joe Reddy´s shoot in the heart of India, the spicy and provocative Lichena Bertinato’s research and the voyeuristic Kevin Vucic Shephard’s photography. Sculpture by Lorenzo Belenguer and his capacity to give another dimension to povera materials, Rosa Migliardi and her harmonic installation finishing with the acid Kevin Dagg satire assembly. We hope you will enjoy this international art exhibition.

Her visual approach refers to the segment of contemporary photography known as staged or tableau-photography. In her latest project I live here, Bertinato has turned towards an intimate portrayal of her domestic life, with a se-ries of isolated and solitary portraits. The recurring theme is her daily struggle with the lack of space she has been coping with since she has moved to London. The photographs show the ways she employed to fit in the tiny spaces of her house, with touching and comic effects.
