Drifts is pleased to announce its participation in the international contemporary art fair Hotel Warszawa Art Fair 2025, taking place in Warsaw from 5 to 7 September. During the fair, we will present works by two emerging artists, Agata Orlovska and Mantas Valentukonis.

In one of the hotel rooms, the artists will present their latest works exploring the influence of technology on the formation of painterly images. These works were first exhibited in their duo show Dymaxion earlier this year in Klaipėda (KKKC, 2025).

Agata Orlovska’s work The Armour of Pieta (2025) from her series of religious icons, examines the traces left by the original image and its gradual erosion over time. Her work questions how the unseen operates within contemporary visuality, how thoughts may be expressed without visible sources, and what significance other senses – beyond sight – hold in relation to the artwork.

Mantas Valentukonis draws inspiration from both the digital aesthetics of video games and the traditions of ancient biblical manuscripts. While firmly rooted in painting, he embraces the tools of new technologies within his creative process. At the fair, Drifts will present his latest paintings alongside an installation first shown in the Dymaxion exhibition: the painting Ghost Plant (2025) and the video work Lady Died (2025), created in collaboration with his brother Deividas Valentukonis. A mystical figure wandering through digital space and ghostly flowers emerging on cold aluminum surfaces tell stories of life and death, exploring the intersections of corporeal and ephemeral existence across undefined horizons of time and space.
