On Tuesday, the 7th of
May, five new exhibitions opened their doors at Centrul de Interes, the already
well known community of artists, based in Cluj-Napoca. In addition to the event, there was a live performance
show, good music, good food and a big crowd of nice people.
Bazis
Contemporary in collaboration with Anaid Art Gallery from Berlin, hosted an
exhibition called “Partner for the Abyss”, curated by Diana Dochia. The featured
artist is Alexandru Rădvan, one
of the most controversial artists of his generation. His work channels the relationship between
contemporary society, religions and mythology and he tries to penetrate the darkest human desires.
There, in the inner darkness, the artist shapes his heroes and goddesses in
oversized self-portraits, in which the self becomes an alter ego of the
mythical characters. "Partner for the Abyss" is about the distance
between what the "I" wants to be and what can become. Whether this
"I" is represented in the form of an ancient goddess, a fertility
goddess, or a hunter.
Alexandru Rădvan's paintings and drawings attract the
viewer through both the impressive dimensions and the topics of his work. I recommend you go see all of them for yourself,
from 4 pm to 7 pm, until the 15th of May, from Tuesday to Saturday.
