Kosovar artist Jakup Ferri gets his first full-scale solo show in Hungary with RUB-A-DUB-DUB, a punchy, cross-media plunge into his universe. Paintings, embroideries, and textiles line the walls, sketching a world where everyday people mingle with animals and oddball hybrids, and where whimsy rubs shoulders with unease. The palette pops, the scenes feel playful and a little absurd, and the details lure you into a quiet commentary on how we live together, what we share, and what we ignore. It’s comic at first glance, then cleverly barbed the longer you look.
Between Craft and Canvas
Ferri slips easily between mediums: stitched surfaces amplify his hand-drawn lines, while textiles turn doodles into tactile rituals. The show highlights that ping-pong between popular craft and contemporary art, emphasizing process as much as picture. Everyday motifs repeat, mutate, and cross-pollinate across formats—an ecosystem of symbols that keeps reorganizing itself.
Dates and Details
Open April 3 to May 30, the exhibition offers a compact, immersive look at Ferri’s range—bright, sly, and disarmingly human.
