The exhibition “Fractal Topologies of the Infinite”, curated by Maria Rus Bojan, brings together two complementary artistic visions: Constantin Flondor, a seminal figure of Romanian art, and Mirel Vieru, a contemporary artist whose practice explores mathematical structures and recurring forms.

The opening of the exhibition will take place on Thursday, November 6, 2025, at 6 PM, at the new permanent space of Jecza Gallery in Bucharest, located at Scânteia+, Piața Presei Libere 1.

“The exhibition was conceived as a platform for intergenerational dialogue, staging a conversation between two artists of different ages and sensibilities, yet complementary in their investigation of dynamics and complex geometries that replicate, on a human scale, the intrinsic order of the universe. Structured as a space that privileges new perspectives of understanding, the exhibition maps the recurrent fractal topologies within the works of both artists, revealing the ongoing transformation between idea and form in pictorial compositions that resonate with universal meaning.

In the works of master Constantin Flondor, nature itself becomes a fractal unfolding — an evolution that endlessly repeats through an infinite expansion toward new realms of knowledge. Building a bridge between immediate reality and the infinite universe, the fractal topologies in his paintings are abstract reflections of a creative process grounded in long-standing observations and research into the mathematical principles governing growth in nature.
The body of works selected for this exhibition reflects the artist’s constant curiosity for contemplating nature, working in and with it, as a way to deeply understand both the implicit and explicit orders that reconstruct the world’s plenitude through layered and unfolding meanings.

A similar approach is present in the recent works of the younger artist Mirel Vieru. His imagined landscapes, in continuous evolution, capture the depth and infinite complexity of fractals, producing images that evoke both cosmic vastness and microscopic detail.
The series presented in this exhibition combines visual fragments—cut and recomposed—from previous paintings, questioning the concept of a ‘geometry of the incomplete.’ Each composition results from an elaborate process of reconstruction, revealing an unstable geometry made of recontextualized fragments where time and space overlap, and meaning multiplies. Rather than restoring a lost whole, the artist seeks to (re)construct a new visual order based on the tension between rupture and continuity.”
Maria Rus Bojan

Maria Rus Bojan is a Romanian art critic and independent curator based in Amsterdam. Throughout a career spanning more than 30 years, she has organized international projects that have included seminal figures of the Romanian art scene, while also contributing to the debut of some of the most successful artists of the new generation. Her long-term collaboration with the German artist Ulay (1943–2020) led to the publication of the landmark monograph Whispers, awarded the AICA Netherlands Prize in 2015. Since 2008, she has been directing MB Art Agency, a platform dedicated to curatorial projects and art consultancy focusing on Eastern European art.
This will be the first exhibition in the permanent space of Jecza Gallery Bucharest at Scânteia+ — a space that naturally finds its place within the capital’s art scene.
