About the Item
Sculptor in the Studio - Pygmalion, 2017
Acrylic on canvas
90 35/64 H x 82 43/64 W in.
230 H x 210 W cm
The artist's reference to fundamental myths of humanity and their analysis from the perspective of contemporary society is the foundation of his creation.
Rădvan is fascinated by mythology, symbols, fabulous and ineffable, story and the legend in itself. His heroes emerge from the artist's deep desire to take possession of the myth, to understand the underlying springs, and to deliver it to the viewer in a manner that does not take account of norms and conventions.
The myth of Pygmalion is not a random choice, the beautiful statue of Galatea comes to life, giving its creator the fulfillment of a dream. The myth of Pygmalion is depicted in several paintings and collages thru a contemporary lens questioning the idea of desired idols.

He is a lecturer at the National University of Art Bucharest, the Painting Department. His PhD thesis, "The fantastic image made by plastic means and literary means", is, like his entire creation, ample documentation and a fine commentary on ancient myths and mythologies. Alexandru Rădvan became a reference name in contemporary Romanian and international art, being interested in the way in which contemporary societies relate and interpret the mythical figures, the ancient characters and legends.
