Dinosaurs Live in the Seven Overlaid Skies, by Ingrid Dan, ITA, 1st year

     

  Last Friday, on May 3rd, White Cuib gallery held the opening of Tincuța Marin’s exhibition called “Dinosaurs Live in the Seven Overlaid Skies”. Born in Galați, the artist studies painting at the University of Art and Design. She has had three solo exhibitions so far: ”In the dinosaurus World stars are green” at Atelier Patru, “Theatre of the mind ” at La Cave Gallery at the French Institute, and “Distorted Realities” at Casa Matei. She has also shown her work in a number of group exhibitions, some of the more important ones being “The Night Watch”, “Sottobosco”, both having taken place at the Art Museum, and "A word for each of us" at Richter FineArt Gallery in Rome. Open until May 15th, the first day of the exhibition attracted a rather large number of people interested to see what the young artist had to offer in her new works. The project includes elements of stage design, street art, and the everyday.

            Through a expressionist filter, the artist aims to suggest a dreamlike atmosphere and to convey emotion, without indulging in any narrative cliches. What can easily be seen is the preoccupation with things such as dreams, magic, form, and the absurd, through the atypical faces of the deformed characters in the works, the colors, the composition. The artist succeeds in creating the impression of the world of dreams, the images just as absurd, the space just as unclear, the events presented just as incoherent as what one might remember of a dream just after waking up, before it is partially or entirely forgotten.
