Untitled Painting

"In Lucian Brumă's painting, the fragments of memory overlap and detach in contrasting successions; each canvas regulates the spatiality through a compositional pretext; inside-outside, the rubbing intensifies and enters a recession; gesture tracers obstruct representative routes; the reason for peeling is almost absent, but insistently conceptualized; black shows, and white hides; strongly accentuated impressions are, in fact, post-expressionist overlaps. For Lucian Bruma, each layer of color, fragment of canvas and pictorial material, subjected to processes of testing and refunctionalization through recontextualization, corresponds to the affirmation of an age, the revelation of a period, the intimate recording of a history. On a filter paper, the acid leaves a visual imprint; similarly, history can react with its own chemistry to its mode of recording. In the vortex conception, energy intersects space and shares shapes, creating patterns of viewing angles and lines of flight. Lucian Bruma interrupts the process of forming a composition with precise edges, suspending the marking of temporality before the acidity of history takes effect." (curator: C.G.)
