I scream, you scream or icecream brings together new works by Jon Kraja, selected from his ongoing series Mockery, Spectaculum, and Scream of the Butterfly. In this exhibition, Kraja explores the absurd theatre of modern life through irony, symbolism, and emotional tension.

In Mockery, social façades are dismantled exposing the contradictions and absurdities of public life.

Spectaculum channels the fervor of fate—reimagined through the spectacle of football. “The modern stadium has replaced the temple as the site where collective belief is projected and experienced.”(1) In this spirit, Kraja views the football field as a contemporary altar, where fate, identity, and myth are shaped through passion and ritual.

Scream of the Butterfly dives into an inner and delicate realm—quiet moments that evoke revolt, transformation, and vulnerability. “Real art doesn’t explain—it disturbs.”(2) These works transmit precisely that kind of silent tension, like a sigh on the verge of becoming a scream.

With a title that teeters between laughter, despair, and irony, I scream, you scream or icecream invites the viewer to confront mockery, fate, and spectacle—where absurdity becomes a strangely familiar reality.

“I call it ‘FUCK’ not just as a scream of anger, but as a way of mentally killing everything that hurts me.”
— Kristanja Çene
In her most personal and explosive series yet, Kristanja Çene unveils FUCK — a cycle of large-scale oil paintings that channel emotional pain into powerful expression. This series is raw, brutal, and uncompromising — a visual rebellion against daily injustice, inner turmoil, and the invisible violence that leaves its marks on the body and soul.
Distorted figures, intense gestures, and the urgency of street art style come together in a world that doesn’t imitate reality — it dismantles it. FUCK is a scream. A purge. A rupture.
Included to this Online Exclusive Exhibition two unflinching self-portraits anchor the series, offering intimate access to the artist’s internal struggle — and her fearless reclamation of space.

Kristanja Çene (b. 1998) is a young contemporary artist known for her expressive paintings, sculptures, and installations. A graduate of the University of Arts, she explores various mediums, including painting, sculpture, and mixed media.
Influenced by her father, a renown  painter, Çene’s work blends impressionistic and abstract elements, often capturing movement, nature, and human interactions with bold, dynamic brushstrokes.
Beyond painting, she works with iron wire and resin to create intricate sculptures and installations that engage with space and form. Her multidisciplinary approach reflects a deep curiosity about materiality and the expressive potential of different artistic techniques.

Gallery70 is proud to present the first viewing room on ARTSY of Niusha Khanmohammadi . She is a multifaceted artist who creates synergies between diverse cultures and explores the connections that shape identity. Born and raised in a small northern Swedish town by Iranian parents, Niusha’s life is defined by the interplay of contrasting cultures. This duality is at the heart of her art, where she uses ink, watercolor and photography to peel back the layers of shared arts, language, and history. Niusha has showcased her art in Istanbul and Tirana, her expressive paintings often focus on movement, female contemplation, and the stories carried through body language. 

Welcome to “TRASHëgim,” a playful site-specific installation at Gallery 70 by the German-Swedish artist brothers Christoph and Sebastian Mügge!
The exhibition’s title is a play on words, combining the Albanian word for legacy, “trashëgim,” with a less flattering English term. The installation explores the deeply personal, ambiguous, and often nostalgic feelings that arise when someone passes away—how we handle loss, cherish memories, and interpret the traces of a complex life. It also addresses universal questions of identity, shifting values, and the meanings we attach to objects from an estate. These items bear witness to the era and circumstances in which they were used, offering insights into the past that resonate with our present.
Albania’s iconic mushroom bunkers, built during Enver Hoxha’s regime, serve as a potent visual legacy within the exhibition. They embody both pride and shame, reflecting the complex emotions tied to the country’s communist past, making Albania’s bunkerization a powerful symbol for the exhibition´s topics. The exhibition also explores how these bunkers have been repurposed as tourist rentals, prompting reflection on how we transform historical burdens and the narratives we build around them.
What is truly worth preserving for future generations, and what is merely discarded as rubbish? Who decides the value of a heritage, and how do we confront personal and historical burdens, dark secrets, and untold stories?

On 25 April 2024 Gallery70,  opened the second exhibition of Spectaculum series by Jon Kraja .The works in view are filled with fragmented figures and abstractions.

The artist’s decision to present a monochromatic (or black and white) society suggests the yearning for individual expression. The Three contemporary Graces of Jon Kraja raise the curiosity of the audience towards the complexities of human relationships and the struggle for identity within a modern context.”

The opening event was attended by many art lovers .
