AUREL VLAD: SILENT WITNESS

July 20 - September 10, 2016 Anaid Art Gallery Berlin

"You'd better show in your paintings how man of our times was wolf to other human beings." , Bertolt Brecht

 

The gestural expressionist sculpture becomes a declaration of faith, as the artist himself professed: "I believe in the power of gesture to become art. I believe in those gestures transmitted from inception of life expressing emotions, feelings, passions, conditions, boundaries. They become lively characters who experience fear, vibrate, light up, give, suffer or rejoice. These kinds of gestures become symbols of either joy or grief, of fear or courage, of blessing or destruction."
