Claudia Brăileanu: Rooms

ROOMS

Claudia Brăileanu
curator: Eugen Rădescu

In “Rooms,” real space and virtual space form a continuum. The virtual is associated with fiction, with the unreal, but it simultaneously points towards possibilities or alternatives that cannot be imagined without using our knowledge of the world, without using patterns – viewed as functional or stereotypical, and that can be formally described as templates or stencils that are built on repetition. Representation is circular: digital objects and material objects are, by turn, representations and represented objects. The extension of the traditional concept of painting in the digital environment and the relationship between painting and time are brought forward.
Claudia Brăileanu’s works speak of a mechanic aesthetic, based on elements triggered by a mathematical structure, that seems inflexible, very technical and full of ‘rigid’ meanings. The line, first element in any technique, becomes subject and object for image construction; it unifies two dots or two states. One of the most visible expression of Claudia’s work is the conceptualisation of pattern, as formal expression witch shows a repetition, and representation of authenticity. (Eugen Rădescu, curator)
