'Mirrors 2.0.21' solo show of Augustin Răzvan Radu puts on view a series of powerful paintings depicting architectural details in Bucharest. Some of the buildings in his works still bear traces of bullets from the Romanian Revolution of December 1989
About
Curated by Ana Daniela Sultana, 'Mirrors 2.0.21' solo show of Augustin Răzvan Radu can be visited between December 7 and December 30, 2021, at Senso Gallery. The project is part of the exhibition programme initiated by Gallery Director Ana Ștefania Andronic (BUZU).
"A fine observer of the urban landscape, Augustin Răzvan Radu depicts in his paintings - with a narrative subtlety, deeply influenced by his inner biography and geography - segments from images and moments from events that mark his existence or that particularly capture his attention. In his most recent series - Mirrors 2.0.21 - Augustin Răzvan Radu keeps his interest for architectural details, but this time, the buildings are no longer affected by bullets; instead, they present the same structure which repeats itself, with different colors. Developed mainly in shades of gray and ocher, the new series is in line with this year’s mood of the artist - 2021, a year evoked, moreover, also in the title of his new solo show, a mood induced by a lonely, even monotonous atmosphere. There is, however, in this selection, when turning to faded tones of pink, a note of nostalgia with hints of optimism. Thus, his new works function as a mirror of his own and, exhibited alongside paintings from other periods of artistic creation, inspire a reconfiguring vision of a world increasingly affected by the crises of the present." (Ana Daniela Sultana)

He has exhibited at the International Art Biennale in Chișinău, at the Accademia Albertina in Turin, the Astra Museum in Sibiu, the Constanța Art Museum, as well as in numerous local and international galleries. In his artistic practice he approaches, in a figurative manner, various themes that he develops in large series, the most prominent representing buildings and architectural details in Bucharest, which still bears traces of bullets from the December 1989 Revolution.
