Art is my hope
Philippe Shangti at Sotheby's Andorra
Christmas in the snow? And if you also like art and photography, you're in luck! In the heart of Andorra, the headquarters of Sotheby's International Realty is hosting an exhibition by French photographer Philippe Shangti that will leave you speechless. Picture a journey through four floors full of visual sensations where art isn't just experienced through the sense of sight, here the art runs through the entire body. The works of this multidisciplinary contemporary artist who loves nothing better than shaking up the status quo, are like a cocktail of glamour and subversion that will make you rethink social and environmental issues.
The Art is my hope exhibition, which can be visited until January 10th, features twelve works of photography and mixed media as well as a never seen before sculpture presented for the first time in the space belonging to the prestigious real estate agency.
