HIDDEN FIELD

While thinking of this brief accompanying text, I felt particularly compelled to reflect on the characteristics of the two territories and of the artists belonging to them: Italy and Romania. These countries are strongly marked by their different identities which formed throughout history as a succession of socio-political occurrences. In truth, they are tumultuous countries which succeeded in providing uncomfortable intensity to their histories.  
Both countries have found themselves at decisive moments in culture and civilization, in this way forming a unique cultural background. Therefore, art is an outcome of time, an interpretation of life which knows to explore the inexplorable through the creation of new paths. It knows how to be more free by assuming particular forms, thus reaching definition of assumptions.
This project is born from the collaboration of two  exhibition spaces that are under a mutual cultural and geo-political profile.
The exhibition takes its cue from the study of these forming situations, linked in-between on a large basis through transcultural and trans-generational differences that lead us to the dilemma of the “indefinite space”. Through this aspect is born the space-time, during which we can become conscious, in-depth, of the particularities of the contemporary abstract and figurative expressionism in cohabitation with contemporary conceptualism.
These thoughts mean a theoretical content and particularities which leads to determine the artistic language that forms the structure of the exhibition.
The succession of the images are following a single line that offer a precise and structured discourse on art through art, proposed by the participating artists: Zsolt BERSZAN, Istvan BETUKER, BIANCONIGLIO, Ivan DIVANTO, Kyle FITZPATRICK, Adrian GHIMAN, Anna GRAMACCIA, Pavel GROSU, Dan MACIUCA, Dalma NYIRI, Bandi SASHA, Ioan SBARCIU, Gloria SULLI, Rashid URI, Szabolcs VERES, VICE, Simone ZACCAGNINI, all of them blending together through elements of narrative dialog, using colors and materials that brings flexible visions of composition.
In painting we find evident traces of the experience of perspective and style, close to the theories of the XX-th century and reused in actual contexts, finally resulting in new meaning.
The visual languages, molded with technical skills, also generate an unexpected read of the surrounding universe. The identic effects are shown by emotions that overflow with color, through light, philosophical thoughts and in the end, through forms that confer upon the exhibited artworks an amazing creator energy. 
Finally, the result of the meeting/confrontation of two artistic realities in this exhibition: an eastern-european and an occidental one, must also be mentioned. Even though opposite, they join through the work of art-managing, with perspicacity, to generate the weaving of a network that today drives our gaze to "the expansion of territories."
