Judyta Bernaś (PL); Małgorzata "Malwina" Niespodziewana (PL); Małgorzata Et Ber Warlikowska (PL); Monika Wanyura-Kurosad (PL) November 24, 2010 - January 30, 2011 Anaid Art Gallery Bucharest "The idea of the exhibition arose from two different starting points. First of all I wanted to show diverse attitudes to printmaking as a means of crossing the borders of the techniques and modes of presentations. Traditionally, printmaking is associated with a two-dimensional print on paper, but in times of transgressions, in which we exist now, every art field is entering a phase of going beyond previously established patterns. One of the most important feature for printmaking now is to enter a three-dimensional space that was originally reserved for sculpture and environmental projects. Another is connected with this aspect of our culture that makes it open to convergence and interactivity. Some of the artists try to create space arrangements or objects that a visitor may enter or touch in different ways in order to create his or her own story. The third thing is the palimpsest like nature of contemporary culture that mirrors in some works created nowadays by the use of multi-layers compositions. Another concept - of an equal importance - was to show ideas that appear in women-artists prints that refer to different aspects of femininity, human relations and - as Judith Butler brilliantly put it - gender trouble."

October 11 - November 11, 2006 Anaid Art Gallery Bucharest The exhibition "Imago Mundi" proposes a series of 18 photographs made thru a systematical manipulation of the images that remembers about the surrealist and constructivists' collages and photomontages.

A bizarre world full of forgotten symbols in that the fish, the apple, the iconostas are enclosed to the human body as for the completed and the reinterpretation of the eternal myths. The graphic interventions, the juxtaposition of the images and symbols reflects the attractions for the allegorical details.
"Imago Mundi" represents a personal narration, a search of the identity (cultural and sexual), of the freedom. The notion of body is used like a powerful weapon of redirection of thoughts thru a series of problems preponderant socials - the violence, the abuse, and the mortal plagues. The proximity of death, the fashion photography of the "chic heroin" became artistically material drag the attention and provoking the rage. Read more -

The transparencies of the jar offers the connection with the exterior, the opening through world, the putting in contact with the objects that is in inside. The idea of preservation goes to the idea of revealing of samples, of capturing, of trap. One trapped into a jar, this became a place of obsessions and desires. What you can find into a jar? Newspaper cuts, photographs, apple stumps, plants, flowers, fishes, etc. It became a recipient for preservation, growing, putrefaction, observation. Read more -

Tara is not concerned into a special way about the nude reality, it is more about the things that are hiding in the back of this reality and about the impact that it provokes. The subject is often caricaturized, exaggerated, distorsionated or alterated through all the ways with the scope to supraevaluated the emotional experiences in the most intense and concentrated form.

ALEXANDRU RĂDVAN: SOMA
May 16 - June 16, 2005 Anaid Art Gallery Bucharest The exhibition, shaped from paintings of big dimensions, recreates the labyrinth from Knossos built by Dedalus, for the King Minos. A labyrinth of his own human being, in that everyone can find himself, a searching of the self. A labyrinth of the uncertainty.
"SOMA" provokes and in the same time feel out the most unseen ways of the self, brought to the awareness and acceptance of the own destiny. It is an interrogation about the faith and the life in itself, a continuous search to understand the own condition. The Minotaurus desires his acceptance, are moments, when he even entreats it. In every paintings exists a labyrinth, from that you can not run, from that you can note escape only through the mutilation. This time the body mutilation heals the spiritual one. Read more -

MARIAN & VICTORIA ZIDARU: ANOtimpurile
November 25, 2004 - January 15, 2005 Anaid Art Gallery Bucharest The painting on large surfaces in oil on canvas coexists with the sculpture, the installation, photography and video image. Zidaru’s work takes birth through the transfiguration of the whole reality, the paste becoming the future through the signification of the present. The graphic wording combine the modernist abstraction with the postmodern neo-expressionism, the conceptualism with folk art, video art with the rural technologies, the Byzantine hieratismus with the contemporary vernacular kitsch. To Zidaru is almost impossible to separate the practice of esthetics from the existential service, from the moral engagement and spiritual dedication. The public is the one that search and that response the image in the meanwhile the artists are the one that transmit and spread the text. Read more -
