[Nettime-ro] work of the month/ donald simionoiu/ cupluri cuminti |
WORK OF THE MONTH prezentarea timp de o luna a unei lucrari recent create, selectata de un curator MNAC / on display of a newly created work exhibited one month, chosen by a MNAC curator ...................................................................................... DONALD SIMIONOIU Cupluri cuminti / Placid Couples ulei pe panza / oil on canvas, 2006 chosen by Ruxandra Balaci .............................................................................................................................. In portretele sale Simionoiu aduce tipologii inconfundabile de romani ai zilelor noastre â antieroi, grotesti, subtil induiosatori sau rizibili, the average Romanian in anii 2000. Portretele se plaseaza undeva intre ironia subtila, revelabila la a doua lectura si retorica unui romantism cliseizat; se construieste amuzant si grav in jurul unui pattern al amorului si umorului de apartament de bloc. Pictura tonics, plina de finete si forta Ãn acelasi timp, isi asuma sarcina dificila de a devoala le cache des individus et dâune partie de la societe. .............................................................................................................................. Simionoiuâs portraits feature recognizable typologies of present-day Romanians: they are antiheroical figures, grotesque touching or simply risible. In between the subtle irony which reveals itself only at a second glance and the rethoric of a clichÃd Romanticism, the references are made at the erotic pattern of a routined daily life in a block of flats. Funny, forceful, and sophisticated his work is assuming the difficult task of revealing le cache des individus et dâune partie de la societe. .............................................................
