Solo Show at Le Camion Gallery. 2026

Dominic-Petru Virtosu immerses us in a world where nature and artifice intertwine, where lush vegetation mingles with the opulence of chandeliers and studio glass roofs. This new series of paintings, specially conceived for the exhibition, explores the boundaries between the organic and the constructed, between observation and reinvention.

Virtosu, whose practice follows in the footsteps of New Figuration, presents a dreamlike imagery in which the jungle, a place of proliferation and mystery, becomes the setting for an unexpected encounter with objects of Baroque decoration: chandeliers, like strange fruits or distant constellations.

Alongside these works, the artist presents a series of observational paintings created within the glazed spaces of his studio. These more intimate works capture the light filtered through the glass roofs, reflections on surfaces, and the interplay of shadows and transparency. They are vibrant paintings, rich in texture, executed using the sgraffito technique.
