„Mirrors 2.0.21”, the personal exhibition of artist Augustin Răzvan Radu, at Senso Gallery

Starting with Tuesday, December 7, 2021, at the top floor of Senso Gallery in Bucharest (Calea Victoriei 12C) one can visit the personal painting exhibition of the visual artist Augustin Răzvan Radu, curated by Ana Daniela Sultana. The exhibition will remain open to the public until December 30, 2021.

„A keen observer of the urban landscape, Augustin Răzvan Radu renders in his painting, with a narrative subtlety, deeply influenced by his biography and his inner geography, segments of images and sequences of events that mark his existence or which particularly attract his attention. In his latest series – Mirrors 2.0.21 – Augustin Răzvan Radu maintains his focus on architectural details, but this time the buildings are no longer affected by bullets, but repeat almost the same structure, alternating only the chromatic. Developed mainly in shades of gray and ocher, this new series is in line with the mood of the artist this year – 2021, a year also evoked in the title of his new personal exhibition – a mood induced by a lonely, even monotonous atmosphere. However, in this selection, when turning to faded pinks, there is also a note of nostalgia with hints of optimism. Therefore, his new works function like his own reflection and, exhibited alongside paintings from other periods of the artist’s creation, inspire a reconfiguring vision of a world increasingly affected by the crises of the present”. – Ana Daniela Sultana
