Galerie Martin Mertens prezintă expoziţia artistului român Radu Belcin. Expoziţie cuprinde o serie de lucrări ale artistului pictate în stil neo-suprarealist, care redau, printr-un puternic contrast dramatic între lumini şi umbre, o atmosferă coşmaresc-onirică.
Belcin’s attention towards a type of transcendental humanism is manifested through the almost permanent presence of the human figure in his artworks. In fact, his characters are effects of the current repositioning of oil painting on canvas, in the framework of the post-modern European crisis of this classic medium of artistic expression. Many of the paintings depict scenes of contemplation of endlessness and search into nothingness. Radu Belcin’s neo-surrealism thus breaks away from language and reason and calls for the contemplation of the abysses of the conscious and subconscious. The collective character in all compositions is compiled of portraits of worries, tensed-up in the darkness that surrounds or hides them. Breathing air is heavy and solid like the darkness. The space of common property and the idea of a collectivity are vaguely defined by shadows, in a mist which clears the delineation between horizontal and vertical. Cosmin Nasui, curator
