Galateea Contemporary Art invites you, on Friday, June 14, 2019, at 7 pm, to varnish the exhibition GEMINATIONS, a solo show of the ceramic artist Nicolae Moldovan, member of the Galateea Group.
”Nicolae Moldovan is one of the most active ceramic artists in Bucharest. He is always on the road between his studio in Timișoara and the students he tutors in Bucharest. Yet from time to time, the artist takes his leisure and generates supple and pure simili-sculptural shapes. For one can recognize Nicolae Moldovan's works in whatever context: they are pieces of unambiguous volumes made of (engobed) clay, of stoneware or of porcelain, bearing small, but meaningful chromatic accents. The joggle-joint shapes are made essential; they remind the ancestral tools whose usefulness seems lost nowadays. The smooth surface of these tamed and relaxing volumes invites you to touch them. Each work is a small container of distilled thoughts, where the artist coagulates the first and the last moments of shape's genesis, after they were largely negociated with a superior instance. Sometimes it's the artist who gains, at other times the shapes stand for the victor, and this balance is both spectacular and attractive.”
Mădălina Mirea, June 2019
Presents: Mădălina Mirea, art historian
Curator: Cristina Popescu Russu
The exhibition can be visited in the period 14 June – 11 July 2019.
