Curator Gianluca Marziani says:

"Vlad Ogay poses moral dilemmas in a neurotic and depressive present. He uses the archaic language of symbols with a high optical and cultural pervasiveness. He favours materials that are readily available in the consumer circuit beyond the Anthropocene. It exploits immediate and evocative semantic codes, hiding complexity under the skin of aesthetic impact."

Curator Alessio Vigni says:

“Vlad Ogay's installations reveal what his main technique is: the "ready-made." On the objects of everyday life Vlad builds new semantic paths on cultural and gender identities. Sacred symbologies find space on the icons of consumerism and pollution. Sacred and profane come together showing themselves as two sides of the same coin."
