Contrast Painting

"Viorel Cosor proves himself the same ardent and protean spirit which spates against the canvas with a dionysian anger. (...) Controlling his impulses, he is attentive at the same time at the quality and meaning of colours, blending his hues of great vitality with the musicality of exquisite mid-tones." (1*) " Everything, in a refined harmonization of chromatic tensions and reflexivity, in a generous visual dialogue, in which the echoes and the elevated stamping of the great paintings - from the Renaissance to the most recent chagallian or baconian styles - they are recognizable by a pedantic and controversial stylistic assumption."
