Societies on the Move: 40 Illustrators at Bevilacqua La Masa in Venice

Forty illustrators are featured in 'Societies on the Move' at Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa in Venice, running until November 20, 2016. The exhibition stems from a competition organized by a prominent Italian paper company, with a jury including Giorgio Camuffo, Cedar Lewisohn, Riccardo Falcinelli, Steven Guarnaccia, Ilaria Tontarini, and Emilio Varra. Works address migration, war, freedom, and conflict through diverse technical and conceptual approaches. Moldovan artist Pavel Popov (b. 1988) won the contest with 'Transplantation,' offering a poetic take on rootedness and the human-nature bond. Other artists blend irony, delicacy, rigor, and playful tones to depict contemporary movements, forging connections beyond the page.
