Artemin Gallery will showcase a solo exhibition by Finnish artist Mirza Cizmic at Taipei Art Week.Cizmic’s work explores themes of lost childhood during the Bosnian War, the absurdity of everyday life, and gender fluidity. His paintings often feature strong female figures and challenge traditional gender roles, blending realistic and surreal elements. Influenced by classical European art, particularly Manet’s Olympia, Cizmic uses transparent layers and flesh tones to depict the body with skill and sensuality.
Key works include Metamorphosis, which satirizes masculinity while celebrating confident women, and Training Day, noted for its physical intensity. The exhibition also features Winner Takes It All (2024), honoring Taiwanese boxer Lin Yuting, and Sister, a sketch of a gender-ambiguous figure that invites open interpretation.
