GLORIÆ Art Gallery, the first independent art gallery in Craiova, presents the exhibition “Visuality and materiality. Three poses of the image”, dedicated to the artists Sorin Ilfoveanu, Adrian Ilfoveanu and Nicu Ilfoveanu.

Paintings and graphics signed by Sorin Ilfoveanu, sculptures by Adrian Ilfoveanu and photographs by Nicu Ilfoveanu are on display in the exhibition. It is not the first time that the father and the two sons of the Ilfoveanu family exhibited together. The novelty comes through a curatorial concept that emphasizes new poses of their creation in an exciting dialogue between the austerity of the broad drawings painted on Sorin Ilfoveanu’s monumental canvases, the haptic force of Adrian’s bronze sculptures and the poetic dimension of Nicu’s photographs.

“What unites the three artists seems to be the recourse to a deep cultural layer that revisits the European cultural heritage, from the evocation of a phantasmatic Levant, a constant theme in the master’s work, to classical mythology reconverted into the sculptor’s universe, to the fragmented diary in the photographer’s images,” said curator Ruxandra Demetrescu.

GLORIÆ Art Gallery is located in the historic center of Craiova, on Alexandru Macedonski Street, no. 49 and can be visited from Tuesday to Friday between 12:00 and 18:00, Saturday between 12:00 and 16:00.

The exhibition can be seen in all spaces of the gallery, including the inner courtyard and the pavilion, until February 20, 2025.
