Inspired by a version of famous Lao Tzu’s quote, Novus Art Gallery’s first show features some of the most iconic pieces created by gallery’s main represented artists. All works are carefully selected to narrate a comprehensive story, while providing unique visual and aesthetic impact.

Featuring strong and memorable, yet fresh and easily recognizable traits, the exhibition strives to make an imprint in audiences’ minds – its impact resembling the one of color vermilion. Widely used in the art and decoration of Ancient Rome, in the paintings of the Renaissance and in art and lacquerware of China, the color vermilion is representative of a brilliant, yet daring and unforgettable hue: much like the gallery’s first collective show.
