We are happy to invite you to the double event of the exhibition opening and book-launch of the artist Iulian Bisericaru (b. 1987, Sibiu). The show, curated by Marie Maertens is titled "Zoom In, Zoom Out" and it features a unique collaboration with guest artist, composer Romain Poirier.

”For his new solo show at Anca Poterasu Gallery, Iulian Bisericaru delves into his reflection on nature and ecology, connected to the expanding urbanism and the ghosts of the post-industrial. After certain ideological dogmas and fanatic capitalism, how can nature reclaim its rights? What is the rapport between landscape and culture after Romanticism? The painter observes, creates compositions, reproduces, imagines, sublimates… proposing overviewing perspectives, idealised or less so, before zooming in to transform the vegetation into an infinite subject, to then let go and farther away from it yet again…

[...]

Without any imposed script, the works from the show are accompanied by a sound piece created by French producer and composer Romain Poirier. In the framework of the Niamor project he composed, We Are the Rest of Mankind… The musician usually works with filmmakers and it is now for the first time that he establishes a rapport between his work and painting, thus creating a minimalist and intense sound-piece, that continuously evolves towards the psychedelic. ” - fragment from the curatorial text by Marie Maertens: https://bit.ly/39Np7n8
