Statement
|
|
While pop art was taking the lead in the art world, Romanian art was shifting between socialism-realism to meaningless figurative (flowers, landscapes, still life). Socialist Realism state controlled art was, in a way, the reaction to the capitalist pop-art and a way to show the world the benefits of communism as the pop art reflected the benefits of products.
Romanian born American artist Eugene Al Pann projects a body of work dedicated to iconic products and images that influenced him in an artistic way. This will place Romanian art to the one of strongest art movements of all times, the pop-art movement. His images bring a new, fresh approach on the Romanian art scene and talk about the strongest graphic elements in the corporate world.
This artistic approach is a fine-tuning for the Romanian art history. The artist opens a new chapter in the Romanian art and talks about brands available to Romanians throughout the past 50 years.
