The face appears. The image refuses to settle.
Across the six panels of Autoportret – Marea, Gili Mocanu’s face forms and dissolves against yellow. Nearby, the paired paintings Mocani take familiar figures from wooden folk craft and render them as fragile presences.
In his essay on the exhibition, Dan Popescu follows these shifts between appearance and absence, symbol and personal experience. Dumnezeu approaches questions of creation through apparently simple things: a face, two figures, a field of colour.
