The Studio
RESIDENCIES + EXHIBITION
- Underdogs Gallery
Over five weeks, five artists will each take over the gallery for a week, transforming the space into a temporary studio. The usually unseen moments of practice become visible: sketches, gestures, doubts, repetitions. Each artist is invited to work on paper, exploring what it can hold within their practice: a beginning, a return, or a place for something new to emerge.
As the weeks unfold, the works begin to accumulate in the space. Each artist decides where their pieces will live, gradually building a collective composition. In doing so, a new form of dialogue emerges: not only between the artists and the public, but also between the five artists themselves, extending the spirit of complicity that has long defined their relationship with Underdogs.

Restless
NEW EDITION X Underdogs Gallery
Titled “Restless”, this new edition is constructed through layers of transparent acrylic, engraved directly by the artist using a tattoo machine. The act is physical and irreversible: text is cut into the material, turning language into trace and inscription. Light and shadow activate the work, introducing depth, pause, and rhythm – charging it with meaning and presence.
