The “Arts of Fire” exhibition will remain open to the public during August 20-31, 2022, from Monday to Friday, between 12PM – 7PM.
“When summer draws to an end, at the Senso Gallery, at the same time with the vast and eclectic “Clouds & I Clouds” group exhibition, curated by Raluca Ilaria Demetrescu on the first floor, another collective exhibition is taking place on the ground floor, dedicated this time to the arts of fire, which brings together the works of Dan Băncilă, Liviu Brezeanu, Lucian Butucariu, Dinu Câmpeanu, Daniela Făiniș, Denis Nanciu, Aniela Ovadiuc and Cristian Pentelescu. If, on the first floor, the artistic practices and plastic art techniques are one of the most avant-garde pieces (we can see, for example, an installation made by Beaver, in which the artist spectacularly blends painting and virtual reality), on the ground floor, the selection of the exhibition relies mostly on traditional methods for the artistic expression: ceramics (Aniela Ovadiuc), porcelain (Daniela Făiniș), patterned glass (Lucian Butucariu), wood or bronze sculptures (Dan Băncilă, Liviu Brezeanu, Dinu Câmpeanu and Cristian Pentelescu). Regardless of the floor, innovation and originality are at home. Even if most of the artists participating in the “Arts of Fire” exhibition are already renowned – not only for the audience of the gallery, but for that of the contemporary art in general – we also encounter a revelation: Denis Nanciu, representative of the younger generation (born in 1999), graduate student at UNArte, Department of Ceramics – Glass – Metal, an artist who takes part in the exhibition with a sculptural object made of glass and metal, bearing a message (being a bag) that may reference the paradigm of consumerism or the ecological discourse.” – Ana Daniela Sultana, curator
