press release

Part 2 - “A Journey to Belong” follows with Torsten Richter, Hollis Alexis Baptiste, and Luca Reffo 

Torsten Richter is a German artist committed to mastering the drawing. Torsten's object-drawings are 
of real size objects which transcend. Attention given to everyday objects such as scythe, pitchfork or old
wooden board, objects which assert themselves more by the sacred presence. The focal point is drawing
the object on a white surface, a sheet of paper, calling attention to simple functionality of the device with 
amazing sensual properties. The insignificant becomes significant in Richter’s drawings. 
The desire in rendering drawing is as aiming to reach time rendered to the real objects. High skill 
and driving force of meditative journey to belong is Torsten's contemplative state of being. 
Torsten’s drawings witnessed by the viewer, are "A Journey to Belong" "The unheard is contained in every thing" - Torsten Richter- " Das Unerhörte ist in allem enthalten."

Hollis Alexis Baptiste is a Toronto based artist. For more than 15 years Hollis is in a journey which adopts 
objects of no significance, like plastic bottles or unusual shaped/formed objects to enter to Hollis’ 
system of observation, and soon after to become part of a structure or a statement revealing his 
State of being. Hollis fun part of his perception, and the drive to belong, channels concerning artist
to motivated utopia.

Luca Reffo is Italian, an artist based in Milan. Exceptionally skilled artist with keen eye to state
of witnessing, and exploring subjects of his paintings with attention to situations and state of fictitious 
being. A restless wonderer for significance. Thin layer of paint, either oil or watercolour, demonstrating 
certainty and deliberateness for the subject and frailty of the moment captured in artwork.
