The exhibition also features the work of four Romanian artists – Radu Belcin, Flavia Pitis, Aurel Tar and Francisc Chiuariu – whose work is influenced bu the way Romania’s history, cultural experience and current economic power or lack of it affect their lives.
The work selected for the show is a snapshot of this new reality and its effects on people and society in Romania.
Lack of freedom and identity issues are brought to the fore bu Belcin’s realist paintings, while childhood in the consumer society is the focus of the Chiuariu’s series titled Forever Ikea. Pitis works with the close-up childish gestures combined with the habits of adults, and Tar’s pop art style captures the strong hold that USSR held over its empire states.

Cycle of cultures
Apart
from revival and reformation, the cycle of cultures is inevitably destined to
decline.
There is always a spectacular beauty/horror in the decadence of civilizations who believe themselves to be right or supreme with their future apparently guaranteed.
There is always a spectacular beauty/horror in the decadence of civilizations who believe themselves to be right or supreme with their future apparently guaranteed.
How the
mighty have fallen – each and every time – no empire has survived – each and
every one is destined to collapse spectacularly – the next collapse is already
in progress.
European scepticism is the edge which drives the present reality
in Eastern Europe and inspires the contemporary artists: Radu Belcin, Flavia
Pitiș, Aurel Tar, Francisc Chiuariu, Dragoș Burlacu.
Each
nation is reacting to the new paradigm and provoking the future of the Europe
in its own very particular way based upon its nations history, cultural experiences
and its current economic power or lack of it.
Facing
the ”empires” of Communism and Post Communism, Consumerism and Post
Consumerism, Capitalism, Democracy and other Posts, art finds itself in between
the freedom of knowledge and the market value, the demands of the Nouveau Riche
and the challenges and scepticism of the New Poor.
The work selected for ‘End of Empires’ are
snapshots of this new reality and its effects on people and societies.
Lack of
freedom and identity issues are brought to the fore by Radu Belcin’s recent paintings.The childhood in the consumer
society is the focus of the Francisc
Chiuariu’s new series titled ”Forever Ikea”. Realist and sensitive, Flavia Pitiș works with close-up
childish gestures and habits of the adults. Collective character is ”mirroring”
the mass production in Dragoș Burlacu’s
new oil paintings on steel metal. Aurel
Tar’s ”Wonderful Collapse” allegorical multiple panels paintings evoke the
great civilization of the Greek European antiquity, staged now under the
bailout of the financial crises.
The artworks and the artists from the ”End
of Empires” exhibition are examples for the rising of the emerging art markets
from the Eastern Europe.
The exhibition was realized in
cooperation with Năsui Private Collection & Gallery.

CONCEPT
Sacrifice Generation_Génération de sacrifice présente le gain de maturité et la prise de conscience de la génération actuelle vis-à-vis de la disparition des idéaux des générations précédentes. Les années ’70, ’80, ’90 en Roumanie ont vu le passage de plusieurs générations sacrifiées qui se sont confrontées aux réalités d’un présent inexistant et d’un futur qui tardait à venir. La réalité était toujours ailleurs, et les références étaient celles de l’Europe de l’Ouest, avec ses modèles déjà épuisés.
L’identité de l’Europe de l’Est s’est construite sur ces générations sacrifiées qui ont sauté plusieurs étapes pour combler des vides de civilisation (culturels, économiques). Cette rapidité dans le développement a le plus souvent mené à une redéfinition constante des identités, que ce soit au niveau individuel ou collectif. Ces identités « provisoires » ont pris racine et se sont imposées commes uniques, au détriment d’une identité bien formée. Ce processus est représenté dans les arts visuels par une absence du portrait, et des éléments du visage dans les œuvres figuratives.
ESTHETIQUE
D’un point de vue esthétique, l’art roumain contemporain a trouvé ces dernières années un appétit pour le réalisme, paré des habits très à la mode du néoréalisme.
Ce territoire est exploré par des artistes tels que Radu Belcin et Flavia Pitiş. En partant de leurs recherches sur la réalité environnante, ces deux peintres recherchent l’identité de la personne et du présent. Le cadre de cette recherche est appréhendé par le clair-obscur. La passion des ombres longilines, les points de lumière tels des spots, créent une atmosphère onirique.
Les émergences artistiques de Radu Belcin et Flavia Pitiş sont d’autant plus remarquables qu’elles franchissent la barrière des générations sacrifiées.

The first project, presented at Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art 2011, proposed a common vision and statement for a new wave of an emerging generation of Romanian contemporary artists.

It is to be exhibited in Artists House, Tel Aviv from November 27 to December 17, 2011.
