About The Artwork

This painting can be rolled for shipping. Each in his own night. This painting is part of a series of Zăercs as objectual support (http://www.maiaoprea.ro/en/triga/triga-s-small-dictionary). It is a multiple staging, the first exhibition of the project being named "Waste- first stage". A scene is a rarefied space, in which the actors are invested with almost shamanistic powers and cathartic ends, remaining, to a large extent, illusory machines. The art gallery is a scene, the paintings are another scene, behind the paintings there is another scene, unseen, of the zăercs which exist as real created objects and which stood at the basis of the paintings. Behind the zăerc structures lies the real life scene. On this first scene (in fact the last one) the zăercs turned into actors, into , reflecting into the gallery visitors as other zăercs, that we carry along through countries, through the cities, the seas, the streets, the kitchen, the bedroom, the other scenes. Why all these stage framings ? I believe in the view that painting is an artificially accelerated mourning, a , where it is played and replayed the endless repetition of mourning, where we kill the dead, where the mourning transmits that guilt of the survivor in face of death, of the intolerable, but lowered at the rank of survival in face of painting itself. The Zăercs of objectual support are for me a way of making my mourning, seeking a synonym with the retrieval of innocence through, the replay of this false innocence with the risk of losing it again, perhaps in search of precisely this loss. Through this series I wish to address myself to both painting and my own phantoms, through some personal stories extended to collective stories, with the hope that my painting can thus speak again, otherwise, about the world, about the historical.

Painting is located in the center of my artistic interests, and through it I investigate concepts of time, memory, absence, waste, decay, violence, identity, subjectivity and vulnerability The purpose behind my latest artwork (painting-graphics, collage, assemblage) is to explore the expressive properties of paint and other materials through physical and poetic processes, following the development of a personal dialogue in between thoughts and colors, emotions and memories, lines and gestures, hesitations and decisions. Desiring to pull the viewer from representation, I like to draw attention to the painting process and to many painterly 'imperfections', which can be clearly visible in the works. My paintings are often built up in layers, during long periods of time, through a process of recording and analysing natural forms, shapes and objects which I make myself, or my own manipulated photographs. These visual sources often resonate with my old drawings and sketches, which are in turn incorporated in the future paintings. The brushwork experiments in the studio and the repetitive structural forms found in my environment become a language of my work. If I were to synthesize in a sole phrase what characterises my interventions, steps, installations and artworks of the media I have experimented so far (photography, video, performance, installation, sculpture), I would say that they are all somewhat self-referential. Self-referential in the sense that my work doesn't demonstrate nor does it present the functioning of structures belonging to the territory of the real. But rather it embraces these structures, interrogates them, in the pursue of a visual expression where reality and imaginary, conscience and unconscious, life and death stop being felt as incompatible. www.maiaoprea.ro/en http://maiastefanaoprea.wordpress.com
