In collaboration with Creutz & Friends and YOUNG LUXEMBOURGISH ARTISTS, join us for the opening of LIB SHKUPOLLI'S first solo show, opening THURSDAY 16 MAY from 18:00 - 20:00 at Creutz & Friends, 22, Rue du Marché-aux-Herbes, L-1718 Luxembourg.Lib Shkupolli, known as Lib, is an artist whose current work delves into the complexities of identity, masculinity, and the human form. Raised in Luxembourg but with roots in Kosovo, Lib's artistic journey has been shaped by his cultural heritage and his experiences navigating our society.
Inspired by nature and flowers, the series of vases created during the tumultuous era of the pandemic served as a starting point for Lib’s creative process, capturing both the fragility and resilience of the human spirit. Infused with bold colors and organic shapes, these vases carry a weightiness in their rounded forms inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and find solace in their beauty. With their sand-like material and voluminous appearance however, they project a sense of strength and robustness.
Moving forward, Lib aims to explore this exact fluidity and heaviness of form, particularly focusing on the male body and its relationship to masculinity. Through his new creations, he seeks to challenge stereotypes and invites viewers to reconsider preconceived notions of strength and vulnerability and to question the narratives that shape our understanding of identity.
His works, displayed at Creutz(&)Friends, serve as catalysts for dialogue, encouraging conversations about identity, representation, and the intersections of social body perception and art. Lib's creations are not just aesthetically striking but also thought-provoking, offering a fresh perspective on the complexities of the human experience.
The artist will be present at the opening.
We are looking forward to welcoming you.
