TROTOAR Gallery in Zagreb, Croatia, proudly announces That’s What’s Up!, a group exhibition curated by Croatian-born writer and curator Saša Bogojev. Featuring a lineup of international artists, the show explores diverse approaches to contemporary figurative painting. Participating artists include Sara Birns, Tim Brawner, Martyn Cross, Sara-Vide Ericsson, Julius Hofmann, Timothy Lai, Danica Lundy, Laurent Proux, Javier Ruiz Pérez, Kristof Santy, Dennis Scholl, Kristina Schuldt, and Christian Rex Van Minnen.

The exhibition bridges local and global art scenes, showcasing works that nod to pivotal moments in art history (Birns, Van Minnen), explore technology and contemporary aesthetics (Hofmann, Brawner), emphasize surface and texture (Cross, Lai, Ericsson, Ruiz, Santy), or push reality into surrealism (Scholl, Schuldt, Proux, Lundy).

Bogojev aims to elevate Croatia’s art scene by introducing international voices to local audiences. “Croatia’s socio-political history slowed global recognition of its artists, but those challenges have become a foundation for distinctiveness,” Bogojev explains to Hypeart.
