Plein : FreeContemporary painting exhibition "Turbulences"- Damien Mauro
From 9 July to 28 September 2025
With a background in urban and graphic arts, particularly street art, Damien Mauro has been painting through abstraction for over 15 years.
This rigorous discipline enables him to refine his artistic trajectory of curves, lines, softness and ruptures, to bring the public to greater attention and contemplation. Visits and workshops will be organized with the artist during the summer.
