Urban Connection by Mirjam Schrei Bartosz WalatUrban Connection draws together the quiet tensions of city life through Mirjam Schrei's distinctive blend of realism and abstraction. Figures and forms suggest movement and proximity without fully resolving a composition held together by restraint. Shifting tones of grey and muted colour capture the mood of urban spaces at their most human: crowded yet solitary, connected yet apart. The vertical format amplifies the sense of depth and presence.
