WONDERLAND at AMZEI CREATIVE CORNER

Mobius and The Institute are thrilled to announce the opening of WONDERLAND, a captivating exhibition featuring the works of Andrei Costache, a celebration of life through the lens of artistic exploration.

The opening of the exhibition is scheduled for Wednesday, December 13, starting at 7 PM, at AMZEI CREATIVE CORNER.

In this exhibition, Costache transforms his artistic endeavor into a vibrant interpretation of day by day existence, where the outcome of his visual experiments becomes a harmonious blend of personal realities and snapshots of everyday life. Through his unique lens, common narratives undergo a metamorphosis into a childlike visual language, resulting in a playful and imaginative collection that invites viewers to interpret each artwork with the freedom and joy of their distinctive perspectives.
While his visual vocabulary echoes the spirit of artists like Keith Haring, Costache’s style is set apart by his choice of medium — wooden cutouts instead of traditional paint. This deliberate selection not only emphasizes the ingenuity embedded in his work, but also introduces a tactile element, inviting visitors to engage with the exhibit on a more sensory level.

Embarking on a journey that navigates from cut-outs representing personal experiences to a broader panorama of social life, Costache’s art forms a mind-blowing tapestry of personal history and social commentary. Each piece serves as a visual dialogue, seamlessly weaving together individual and collective stories that invite contemplation and reflection.

Born in 1983 (Constanta, Romania), Andrei Costache graduated with a MA in Sculpture at Slade School of Fine Art, UCL, London, UK. His artistic expression unfolds as a hyperreal fantasy, where the electric jigsaw serves as his brush, and spray paint becomes his palette. Drawing inspiration from classical paintings, Costache channels it through a contemporary, personal lens. His body of work revolves around themes of childlike innocence, spectral elements, eroticism, and metamorphosis, creating a captivating fusion of traditional influences and modern sensibilities.

WONDERLAND is on view from December 13th to January 25th, at AMZEI CREATIVE CORNER, and can be visited from Wednesday – Saturday: 15:00 – 19:00.
