Prezentare Demers Artistic

Nascut in 19.12.1957, comuna Danesti – jud. Gorj. Fost elev al artistelor Graf Karin (Germania) si Floria Mandruteanu (Canada) in anii adolescentei. Absolvent al Facultatii de Pedagogia Artelor din cadrul Universitatii „Constantin Brancusi” Tg Jiu. Licentiat in Arte Vizuale al Universitatii de Arte Plastice si Design din Cluj Napoca. Membru al Uniunii Artistilor Plastici din Romania. Lucrarile sale se gasesc in colectii particulare din tara si din strainatate (SUA, Canada, Franta, Scotia, Olanda, Belgia, Italia, Cipru,Ungaria, Rep. Moldova). La inceput spiritul tanar l-a indreptat spre cubism, dupa aceea a continuat ani de zile lucrul in plen-air devenind peisagist prin excelenta la scoala naturii, pe urma a practicat cu curaj descompunerea realitatii si recompunerea ei in alta forma, apropiindu-se de pictura metafizica si urmarind noua obiectivitate (Neue Sachlichkeit) intr-o viziune proprie. Prin 2004 a revenit la peisaj intr-o abordare mai plastica, pentru ca acum sa se regaseasca intr-un curent de sinteza a tuturor abordarilor anterioare, o arta conceptuala bazata pe gestualism si transfigurare si, de ce nu, pe filozofia si poetica imaginilor – umbre ale timpului ramase in memoria afectiva. A debutat in 1997 si ca poet cu volumul „Imperiul Privirii”, este colaborator la mai multe publicatii de cultura locale si centrale cu versuri, eseuri sau reproduceri din arhiva personala de artist vizual.

Prezentare Demers Artistic

Born in 19.12.1957 Danesti, Gorj County, Romania. Former student in his teenage years of artists Graf Karin (Germany) and Florin Mandruteanu (Canada). Graduated the Arts Pedagogy Faculty of the Constantin Brancuși University in Tîrgu-jiu, having a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts at the University of Fine Arts and Design in Cluj Napoca, is currently a member of the Artists Union in Romania. His work can be found in private collections around the country and abroad (SUA, Canada, France, Scotland, Holland, Belgium, Italy, Cyprus, Hungary, Republic of Moldova). At the beginning his young spirit led his towards cubism, and after years of working in plen-air, nature’s greatness transforms him into a landscape painter. Later on he tried the decomposing reality and recomposing it in another form, coming close to metaphysical painting, seeking his own view of the new objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit). Around 2004 he came back to nature and landscape, but with a different view, a bit more plastic, as if trying to merge together all the previous approaches in a style based on gestualism and transfiguration, and, if one may say, on the philosophy and poetics of shadow images left by time in our memory. He had his debut as a poet was in 1997 with the volume Imperiul Privirii and has collaborated at several local central publications with poems, essays, reproductions from his personal archive as a visual artist.
