Alexandru R\u0103dvan, un nume de referin\u0163\u0103 al artei contemporane rom\u00e2ne\u015fti, at\u00e2t \u00een \u0163ar\u0103, c\u00e2t \u015fi \u00een afara grani\u0163elor \u0163\u0103rii, a g\u00e2ndit o ampl\u0103 expozi\u0163ie personal\u0103 pentru spa\u0163iul Muzeului de Art\u0103 din Craiova. Cunoscut pentru picturile sale de mari dimensiuni, expozi\u0163ia \u201eZilele unui Colos\u201d va cuprinde \u00een premier\u0103 lucrarea intitulat\u0103 Ultima zi pe P\u0103m\u00e2nt <\/em> reprezent\u00e2nd cea mai ampl\u0103 pictur\u0103 de \u015fevalet din crea\u0163ia artistului expus\u0103 p\u00e2n\u0103 acum, 3 m \u00een\u0103l\u0163ime \u015fi 5,70 m l\u0103\u0163ime. Expozi\u0163ia cuprinde peste 20 (dou\u0103zeci) de lucr\u0103ri de pictur\u0103 de mari dimensiuni, realizate \u00een perioada 2021 \u2013 2023 \u015fi o serie de sculpturi realizate \u00een perioada 2022 – 2023, ce vor fi prezentate pentru prima dat\u0103 publicului.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expozi\u0163ia \u201eZilele unui Colos\u201d a fost g\u00e2ndit\u0103 ca un dialog \u00eentre lucr\u0103rile artistului \u015fi spa\u0163iul expozi\u0163ional pe care acestea \u00eel populeaz\u0103. Personajele pl\u0103smuite de Alexandru R\u0103dvan sunt desprinse adesea din mitologia greac\u0103 \u015fi roman\u0103 pentru a fi reintegrate \u00een parcursul istoriei artei contemporane. Ulise, Hercule, Pigmalion, seria Cerberilor sunt reinterpret\u0103riale vechilor mituri \u015fi mitologii, prin care artistul aduce un comentariu fin timpurilor contemporane. Colo\u015fii, din aceast\u0103 nou\u0103 serie de lucr\u0103ri, continu\u0103 preocup\u0103rile conceptuale ale crea\u0163iei lui R\u0103dvan din ultimii zece ani. Venit\u0103 din negura timpului, figura Colosului ia \u00een st\u0103p\u00e2nire p\u00e2nza, desenat\u0103 supradimensionat \u00een c\u0103rbune transmi\u0163\u00e2nd o senza\u021bie de lini\u015fte \u015fi calm. Alexandru R\u0103dvan descrie aceast\u0103 serie nou\u0103 de lucr\u0103ri astfel: \u201eEu sunt colosul. Cu fiecare anotimp care trece \u0219i care m\u0103 poart\u0103 mai aproape de o var\u0103 etern\u0103, colosul cre\u0219te \u00een jurul meu \u0219i m\u0103 prinde ca \u00eentr-un cocon. Aud de la al\u021bi oameni c\u0103 timpul se comprim\u0103, c\u0103 planeta se schimb\u0103, c\u0103 holocaustul nuclear e aproape, c\u0103 soarele e periculos, c\u0103 tinerii nu \u0219tiu nimic \u0219i vor duce lumea la distrugere. Aud c\u0103 nu mai conteaz\u0103 nimic. V\u0103d mult\u0103 team\u0103 \u0219i mult\u0103 indiferen\u021b\u0103, v\u0103d lozinci goale pe din\u0103untru, v\u0103d oameni foarte gr\u0103bi\u021bi. V\u0103d foarte mult\u0103 \u00eengrijorare. Colosul preia vibra\u021biile aerului, le filtreaz\u0103 prin sitele istoriei \u0219i ale mitului \u0219i \u00eemi transmite c\u0103 omenirea a fost mereu \u00eengrijorat\u0103. Colosul \u00eemi arat\u0103 c\u0103 ceea ce pot cu adev\u0103rat s\u0103 fac, este s\u0103 \u00eencerc s\u0103 pun laolalt\u0103 micile fragmente de lini\u0219te \u0219i s\u0103 \u00eencerc s\u0103 compun un teritoriu calm, dincolo de bariera cinismului, sloganurilor, corectitudinilor de tot felul, panicii, presiunilor. Un loc \u00een care s-ar putea \u00eent\u00e2lni cu al\u021bi colo\u0219i, ai altor oameni.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandru R\u0103dvan – The Days of a Colossus<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

18 June 2023 – 31 August 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curators: C\u0103t\u0103lin Davidescu and Diana Dochia<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Craiova Art Museum<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jean Mihail Palace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandru R\u0103dvan, a leading name in Romanian contemporary art in Romania and abroad, has conceived a sizeable solo show for the Craiova Art Museum. Known for his large-scale paintings, the „The Days of a Colossus” exhibition will feature the premiere of „The Last Day on Earth”, the largest easel painting of the artist’s work ever exhibited, 3 m high and 5.70 m wide. The exhibition includes more than 20 (twenty) large-scale paintings made between 2021 and 2023 and a series of sculptures made between 2022 and 2023, which will be presented to the public for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solo show „The Days of a Colossus” was conceived as a dialogue between the artist’s works and the exhibition space they inhabit. The characters depicted by Alexandru R\u0103dvan are often taken from Greek and Roman mythology to be reintegrated into contemporary art history. Ulysses, Hercules, Pygmalion, and the Cerberus series are reinterpretations of ancient myths and mythologies through which the artist brings a nuanced commentary to contemporary times. In this new series of works, the Colossus continue the conceptual preoccupations of R\u0103dvan’s work over the last ten years. Coming from the darkness of time, the figure of the Colossus takes over the canvas, drawn oversized in charcoal, conveying a sense of tranquillity and calm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandru R\u0103dvan describes this new series of works: „I am the Colossus. With each passing season that brings me closer to an eternal summer, the Colossus grows around me and traps me like a cocoon. I hear from other people that time is compressing, that the planet is changing, that nuclear holocaust is near, that the sun is dangerous, and that young people know nothing and will destroy the world. I hear that nothing else matters. I see a lot of fear and a lot of indifference; I see empty slogans inside; I see very hurried people. I see a lot of concern. The Colossus picks up the vibrations of the air, filters them through the sites of history and myth, and tells me that humanity has always worried. The Colossus shows me that I can really try to put together the small fragments of peace and compose a calm territory beyond the barrier of cynicism, slogans, correctness, panic, and pressure. A place where they could meet other colossuses of other’s people.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexandru R\u0103dvan (b. 1977, Bucharest) is a graduate of the University of Arts Bucharest, Faculty of Painting, class of Prof. Florin Mitroi and lecturer at the University’s Department of Painting. With a PhD in „Image Science” conferred by the University of Bucharest, Alexandru R\u0103dvan began to exhibit constantly since the end of 1998 and became one of the leading representatives of contemporary Romanian art in the 2000s.
