The exhibition, a cut-out from a yet unwritten \u201cring of fire\u201d of the most impressive visual productions of recent decades, offers an opportunity to retrace conceptual links, invisible stories, common inspiration, and relevant friendships between the artists selected.<\/p>\n The artworks presented were selected from four important Romanian private collections of today \u2013 the collections of Mircea Pinte, Ovidiu \u015eandor, R\u0103zvan B\u0103nescu and\u00a0the Plan B Foundation \u2013 found in three different cities: Cluj, Timi\u015foara and Bucharest. The selection, compiled with the help of curator Diana Marincu, provides a comprehensive and informative cross-section of contemporary Romanian art, though it also includes examples of Romanian neo-avantgarde works, which suggest that, although every generation has its own perceptions and responses, the creators and consumers of art can forge bridges between generations. Indeed, it has been said of the so-called Cluj School that its representatives harbour a keen interest in the recent past.<\/p>\n The collections boast emblematic works by renowned Romanian artists such as Mircea Cantor, Adrian Ghenie, Ciprian Mure\u015fan, Vlad Nanc\u0103, Ioana Neme\u0219, \u015eerban Savu and Mircea Suciu, who rose to international fame as their patrons\u2019 collections were coming into being. At the same time, the collectors\u2019 interest in the young generation of artists, for instance Mi Kafchin, Alex Mirutziu and George Cr\u00eenga\u0219u, extends the focus to a variety of mediums and subjects.<\/p>\n While there are many overlaps among these collections, each assembly of artworks has its own distinctive character and geographical focus, and each reflects a unique type of interest. This exhibition strives to offer insights into the personal tastes of these passionate collectors, for whom art collection, as R\u0103zvan B\u0103nescu so aptly remarked in an interview, is not merely a hobby, but a life model. Their patronage has been instrumental in the integration of contemporary Romanian art into public spaces and the international art scene. The exhibition can be a platform to initiate meaningful comparisons between private art collecting in Hungary and Romania: the 2014 exhibition Contemporaries: Collectors and Artists, which presented works from 38 Hungarian collections, was also organized by the Budapest Gallery.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”45″][vc_single_image image=”13225″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”10″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n \u0218erban Savu<\/p>\n The Lazy Fisherman,<\/em> 2010, oil on canvas, 127 \u00d7 170 cm<\/p>\n Courtesy of the artist and Plan B Foundation<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”45″][vc_single_image image=”13232″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”10″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Mi Kafchin<\/p>\n While Radu and Mihut were having a coffee, <\/em> 2012, mixed media on plasterboard, 95 \u00d7 120 cm<\/p>\n Courtesy of the artist and R\u0103zvan B\u0103nescu Collection<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”45″][vc_single_image image=”13237″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”10″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Gabriela Vanga<\/p>\n Pavel,<\/em> 2006, mixed media, glass, white sand<\/p>\n Courtesy of the artist and Mircea Pinte Collection<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”50″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column][vc_separator type=”normal” down=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_single_image image=”13248″ img_size=”300×100″ onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=”” img_link=”” el_class=”logo-link” link=”http:\/\/icr.ro”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_single_image image=”10285″ img_size=”100×100″ onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” qode_css_animation=”” img_link=”” el_class=”logo-link” link=”http:\/\/www.nka.hu”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” background_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”32″]Double Heads Matches<\/em><\/h2>\n
