It's been a week already, since I visited three exhibitions last week. These exhibitions are changing every two weeks so I need to know those dates, if I don't want to miss them. It'd be a shame as I love art and these are also free, courtesy of the municipality, so why not?
As I always say, for me, these "art trips" are like breaking out of my own world and landing in a totally different one that I have no control of, but it is very relaxing and recharging in the same time. It's educative as well, because want it or not, you still learn a lot, if you have an open mind and like it too.
Anyway, today I'd like to share with you photos from one of the exhibition, called "Artproof". The particularity of this exhibition is that the artists are teachers from an art school. To be honest, for me this is a first as I've never seen art teachers or professors exhibiting, only students, so I was really glad to see the works of those teaching the next generations.
You can judge by their artworks, if they are the right people to reach, of if they have a right to teach young artists. Obviously this is our subjective opinion as there are others to decide, not us, but it's a fun game I think.
Renata Claudia Veér - Mystery (acrylic on canvas)
Let's start with this abstract, that at first glance looks like paint pouring, but I'm not sure it is in reality. Looking at it from a considerable distance, it looks like a vortex and I like it.
Renata Claudia Veér - Mirroring 1 (acrylic on canvas)
Renata Claudia Veér - Mirroring 2 (acrylic on canvas)
Maybe the colors would not be my first choice, but this does not take away from the value I see in these paintings. I see a series of abstract and would love to know if it is paint pouring, or a different technique.
Petre Codrut Caprila - The Great Crossing (acrylic on canvas)
This is where the fun begins for me. It's an abstract portrait, if there's such thing, but one that I like. We're seeing a scientist here, most likely, but can't figure out who it is. Clues: numbers, parchment (pergamen) paper, a triangle as well. Tell me if you suspect who it is. Anyway, those colors are lovely.
Lucia Calinescu - Entrance (acrylic on canvas)
A headless model, titled "entrance". I think I'll let this for you as a riddle.
Nóra Suba - Explosion (pastel on sandpaper)
This painting literally knocked me off my feet. First of all, look at the theme. Look at the kids protecting the light and most likely trying to warm themselves up at the candle light. I love how the artist chose to focus on the light, while making the rest of the canvas dark, but still, there's light in the background too, which, in my opinion is needed for some balance.
But painting on sandpaper? I've never seen any work on sandpaper, but I love it. I could not resist and went closer to the canvas, which in this case is sandpaper of course and touching it is a sin and a criminal act, but had a close look and saw it was a very fine sand paper. Even so, imagine how many brushes the artist must have destroyed in the process.
Anyway, this shows that there are no limits in art and this refers not only to imagination, but use of materials as well. Love it!
Victor Mihail Frunza - Throne and shell
I don't know what to say about this, other than it's really weird.
To give you an idea bout the size of these paintings, here it is. These were definitely not for a flat.
Nóra Suba - Teca 1, Teca 2, Veca 1, Veca 2
This was a series about a dog and at first I though it's photography, but I could not be more wrong. All four were paintings. Really good paintings I say and would have fooled you too. The problem was, all four were under glass and reflection and glare are always working against me, so this was the beat I could do.
Here's a closer photo.
And another one. I think you can see it's not a photo, but a painting.
Nóra Suba - Chill, they are just playing
Funny, isn't it? :)
Ok, this is it for today, let me know which one is your favorite today and answer the riddle if you can.
