One of the works that caught our attention is “The Vegetal Hunter” by Gabriel Brojboiu, exhibited by the Romanian Art Yourself Gallery. This Magritte-esque painting depicts a man dressed in a blue jacket and vest set, a white buttoned up shirt with the number 730, red pants and a glove on his hand holding a pigeon, as if it were a falcon. The man’s head seems to be from a vegetal materials, maybe lettuce and his colourful glasses remind us this is an alternate reality. The man is hunting vegetables instead of animals, he is made of vegetable instead of meat and he is holding a pigeon to retrieve the vegetable he hunts, instead of a falcon to retrieve the animal he shot.
