Extension of Young Blood-an exhibition project Art Safari that reached the 5th edition, the exhibition organized at Promenada Mall aims to bring closer to the general public, in the daily contexts, energy, courage and creativity of the young generation of artists.
“What do these young people want with their art?”
“Young Blood. The new wave of contemporary artists” is an exhibition-manifest who aims to dismantle the idea that “no artists are born anymore.” The curator Alexandru Rădvan and his selection of works fully contradict this perception, showing that the new generations of artists are numerous, talented and full of stories that are worth looking and listened to.
“- There is no more, sir, artists as they once were! A Michelangelo is no longer born …
They are born. They are always born and there are many, more and more, they are talented, they want to tell each one. There are over a thousand young artists who have things to share, and among them, at least one hundred are special, and ten – absolutely remarkable. But … we are not willing to listen and especially to try to understand what these young people want with their art ”, declares Alexandru Rădvan, the curator of the exhibition.
The artists present in the exhibition are Alina Dârțu, Andra Georgescu, Bianca Măldărescu, Brândușa Mărăscu, Maria Cosmaciuc, Mihai Voinescu, Paula Nănău and Ana Popa.
Art at the crossroads
The exhibition also speaks of the force of art of surviving and giving hope in any context – whether it is times of war and crises or uncertainty.
“Now, art? Don't you see, Bre, that the war begins, that the plague comes, that the asteroid strikes us, now we burn us with art? The clear answer is: yes, bre, exactly now is the moment. These, that it might be nice ”, It is the exhortation of the curator Alexandru Rădvan.
Graduate of the University of Arts Bucharest, the Faculty of Painting, the class of Prof. Florin Mitroi, and a lecturer at the University Painting Department, with a doctorate in the “image science” conferred by the University of Bucharest, the artist has exhibited in the country and abroad, since the late 1998. His works are found in important public and private collections in Romania, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Israel, France, Italy, Greece and the USA.
