ULTRACONTEMPORARY artworks

GRABBING THE NOWGallery Ultracontemporaine presents artworks on current issues.

For this book we have made a selection of artworks by Thierry Geoffroy/ COLONEL, who has been producing artworks daily as an immediate way of expressing and freezing his thoughts on war, refugee situation, fairness and responsibility.

Buying in Gallery Ultracontemporaine is about grabbing the artwork while it is hot and relevant.
