Looking back at Matei Toșa’s previous solo exhibition ✨

𝐑𝐨𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬
𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐢 𝐓𝐨ș𝐚
@matei_tosa
27.03-01.05.2026
Curated by Alexandra Mocan @alexndra_mocan

Moving fluidly between reality and speculation, an uncanny atmosphere permeates Matei’s drawings, where the surrealism depicted feels increasingly immediate and holds the potential to become plausible within the conditions of the (global ongoing) present. The artist revisits heard or imagined stories, blending them with surprising twists in an almost tongue-in-cheek manner.

Roamers operates as an analogy for in-betweenness - evoking transitions, passages, and crossings between states, places, and conditions. Drawing from a local story - circulating around the area where Matei lives, known as “Dead Man’s Curve / Curba Morții” - the artist develops speculative fictions emerging from the margins. Here, zombies and remnants of an afterlife resurface, and reality collides with haunting scenarios, bringing reflection on how irreverent our daily lives have become.

The selection of works evokes a state of unconditional unsafety: a street corner once marked by accidents is translated into a space of fear, tension, and latent conflict, where suspicion shapes behavior and people or nature are set against one another. (...)
