Alina Aldea has made a name for herself in recent years through a series of site-specific solo exhibitions in which the artist erodes the exhibition space. The installations often mix elements from the organic world - twigs, fur, and feathers - with synthetic materials - Plexiglas, resins - to create the feeling of a hybrid laboratory. "Alter Reality" is about a world where the natural and the artificial intertwine, where elements from the two worlds coexist, giving rise to new forms and formulas of life.
This laboratory commences with a series of drawings in ink in which vegetal and floral interweaving intertwine with a system of tubes, which will develop into a series of three-dimensional pipes paralyzed inside by fur and feather blooms. "The vision of the elements is situated on the borderline between the organic and the rational, between the natural and the artificial, between fact and fiction", the artist states.
Graduate of the University of Art Bucharest, Faculty of Sculpture Alina Aldea, in recent years, developed a coherent project giving a personal and unique touch to the area of site-specific installations in Romania. The artist has exhibited in major group and solo exhibitions in Italy, Malta, Germany, Sweden, Japan and Romania. Works signed by the artist can be found in the permanent collection of MNAC - National Museum of Contemporary Art and other important public and private collections in the country and abroad.
