Altered Visions IV Painting

Sarah Muscalu's project Altered Visions is part of her artistic research that investigates the morphology and syntax of painting language, the identity of the medium and the ways of presenting paintings as an object in a physical space. I could enounce that the artist's painting is theoretical and discursive. Even if it does not disclaim the representation of a subject, the artist's interest is oriented towards the representation itself, ie to produce philosophy applied on the study of artistic languages. Of course, we can ask ourselves: where did artistic knowledge end up today? The answer is difficult to give in a few lines. However, we can say that painting, or, in general, making art today, means not only to represent something that you can perceive sensory, but to question the language through which you communicate, artistic commitment and to make bridges with other forms of knowledge from science or philosophy. In general, Sarah Muscalu's painting breathes conceptual sophistication and erudition. In fact, it is not just about painting, the reference to the materiality and expressiveness of the gesture being explicit, but about the image, in general. The pictorial medium has thus metamorphosed into a post-medium that includes in its linguistic space elements from photography. Using the technique of photomontage and collage, as it was used by some Soviet Constructivist artists, the artist creates large partially painted surfaces in which fragments of images coexist, representing industrial infrastructure in communist Romania, currently destroyed or in an advanced stage of degradation. The support of the painting becomes flexible and folds on the topic of the exhibition space, thus creating an organic-immersive space.
