A new technique of making art, by Alexandra Burtiuc

Paul Cordos is a young artist from Cluj-Napoca, the only contemporary artist from this city who is doing art bending. This kind of work is a new concept and its impact on the people was big. His most recent exhibition is called Legends, and can be seen since 22 October, in Papillon Cafe, even if the opening took place at Charlie`s in Cluj-Napoca, during Drink after work event.

This exhibition has something unique: every piece of art is made by one single galvanized wire. There are no stickers and no welds. There is just bended wire, and this makes his work special. Every portrait is made by a single line, with a dimension of 50x70 cm. There are eight pieces in the collection, and  their making took two months. But the artist says that every second was worth.

Paul was inspired by a French graphician, named Quibe, who makes his drawings (on paper) just with a single line. After he discovered Qiube`s works, Paul thought that there was a perfect fusion between him and Qiube because both of them are making art using a single line.

He named the exhibition Legends because  the faces that he chose to represent are legendary heroes from American movies. The eight faces that you can see are Liza Minnelli, Audrey Hepburn, Alfred Hitchcock, Christopher Walken, Quentin Tarantino, Woody Allen, Daniel Craig, and Jim Morrison.

And above all, Paul declared that even if the portraits were exhibited just for a few hours, he received many orders of. And this makes him even happier.
