The program will be launched Thursday, 25th January 2007, at 07:00 pm with the opening of the painting exhibition "CiderForest" signed Ioan Sbârciu. The public interested in contemporary art will be able to visit the exhibition from 25th January - 18th February 2007.
"Cider Forest", recent project, proposed and realized by the artist Ioan Sbârciu reunites a series of works that have as starting point the social, political, economic and mediatic phenomen " Roşia Montană". The tragedy of the man and the nature, in the context of Roşia Montană was been developed in other series of works named "Roşia Montană". The pure gestualism, that outlines in the framework of the large dimensions works make allusion to the Transylvanian landscape thru a well-balanced swing between abstract and figurative. The landscape, as pictorial gender, is reengaged and reinterpreted in the framework of some reiterations of the plastic sign thru a strong lyrical and technical vigor demonstration.
To assume the social-political phenomen of Roşia Montană and to take position against this phenomen is outlined into an artistic formula different from the other protest formulas that you can see to the younger artist generation. The esthetic dimension assumed by the painting of Ioan Sbârciu indicates a pleasure for sensorial generated to the viewer’s level a reflexiv-meditativ attitude. In this way Ioan Sbârciu's works excel the limitate framework of a simple reaction against a social-political event of the contemporary Romania, obtained the valences of an universal drama thru which the mysteries is submitted step by step to disappearance.
Preeminent personality of the clujean cultural-artistically life, the painter Ioan Sbârciu is known by the public also in his quality as a rector of the University of Art and Design Cluj-Napoca. The remarkable artistic activity is emphasized by numerous solo and groups exhibitions, national and international, from that we will mentioned just some of them: "The friendship Mysteries", Museum of Art Cluj 2005, International Contemporary Art Biennale Prag, 2005, "Lupertz - Sbârciu.
