„(…) Visual information and text information…. News and graffities, videos and gadgets, videograms and revolt. An ongoing flow, a stream which cannot be contained with the neurons or with the eyes, or with the heart, from which individual extraction/withdrawal becomes less likely with every day that passes. The inflow of information turns into jamming, and it loses its aesthetic value and its informational value – a constant “hum” which taints a person’s course. A fog which spoils the outlook and mitigates fake news, as well as the advances of medicine and the latest trends in fashion. Reduced to “motion blur”, perception withdraws inwards, to phantasies and phantasms which the exterior environment has not yet influenced, but this is the next step, the next stage: exterior jamming is internalized. How much and what remains of dreams and reveries? – Cristi Marculescu, film critic.
An event of a unique scale in Romania, the Bucharest Art Pavilion – Art Safari 2017, organized by the Art Society Cultural Centre, Foundation is an annual event intended for Romanian and regional art, „with an emphasis upon its recent evolutions, where galleries of contemporary art from Romania, as well as from the International scene, are invited to exhibit”.
The 4th edition will be held in the period 19 May – 18 June 2017, at the Kretzulescu Galleries, where the Central Exhibition can also be visited, curated by Wim Waelput – the manager of the Contemporary Art Centre from Ghent (Belgium). At ART SAFARI, a complex educational programme has been prepared, including conferences, artist presentations, as well as book launches for the lovers of art.
The SENSO Gallerywill be present through the artist Ana Stefania Andronic BUZU (at her third participation in ART SAFARI) in the exhibition area where the most important Romanian and international galleries of contemporary and modern art are invited to exhibit. Ana Stefania Andronic BUZU‘s personal exhibitions from the past six years, as well as her participations in international fairs “have investigated new modes of expression in figurative painting, evolving towards a complex decorativism, impregnated by symbols and graphic suggestions”.
“Ana Stefania Andronic is a young artist with an inexhaustible imagery, difficult to categorize, which carries the playfulness of shapes and that of logos into a place of buoyant magic. The oneiric pomp, with the sounds and the reverberations of travelling back in time, the sensations, the flavours and the candours forging metaphors are present everywhere, carving, at times ineffably, at other times with a disquieting lyricism, a world which moves under the laws of a personal scenography (…)” – Iolanda Malamen, 2017
Ana Stefania Andronic BUZU has been a member of the Visual Artists’ Union of Romania since 2014, she attended the graphics courses of the “Nicolae Tonitza” High School of Art and the National University of Arts in Bucharest – the Faculty of Visual Arts, where she had Mircia Dumitrescu as mentor.
