Welcome to Paradise and where is that
Dumitru Gorzo opened the "Welcome to Paradise" exhibition at H'art Gallery, in Bucharest --Romania. After several graffiti experiments, anonymously placed all over Bucharest this spring, Gorzo introduces this time a panoramic painting, covering the entire gallery walls and ceiling.
(PRWEB) May 22, 2005 -- The work was realized "in situ" and covers over 150 square meters (more then 230 square inches). For the opening, different scenes were specially framed with wreaths made of real flowers, green leaves and elm-tree branches. The so called and so pretended "paradise" is exorcised through a rather burlesque iconography, without missing consecrated scenes and characters: "Man's Creation", "The Fallen Angel", "Eve at Lilith power".
Dumitru Gorzo declares about the "Welcome to Paradise" exhibition: "It was my intention to show the two faces of the paradise: the ancestral one, which (in our imagination) is the moment in time, and space where the man was created and the inner-paradise - borne from our actual need and longing for paradise, from our searching of it." Please see the above photos for the noticing of his malicious smile while making this naïve-like statement. Truth is the paintings are disrespecting even his personal manner, favoring the absolute outsider art style.
The gallerist and exhibition's curator Dan Popescu -- is seconding him in this speech: "All begins with man's creation: a painful, unpleasant yet wet (in artist's vision) experience. It is followed by a scene depicting Eve's emancipation toward Lilith's wild spirit, but the story is ended by The Little Prince's falling from within the favours of The Three Graces. We may rest a while accompanied by demiurgical Iuri Gagarin, just enough to be again assaulted by the ridiculous romantic ascention of the self eroticism."
The exhibition is open from the 19th of May to the 12th of June 2005.
