About the Item

Born in Romania, Sanda Iliescu lives and works in Charlottesville, Virginia. Her work has received numerous awards such as the The Rome Prize, a McDowell fellowship in painting and The Distinguished Artist Award of the New Jersey State Council of the Arts. Carmen Bambach, Curator of Drawings and Prints at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Paul Barolsky, Commonwealth Professor of Art History at the University of Virginia, have written critical essays on Iliescu’s artwork. Iliescu teaches painting, drawing, and design at the University of Virginia. Her book The Hand and the Soul: Aesthetics and Ethics in Architecture and Art was published by the University of Virginia Press in 2009. Other publications include “The Garden as Collage” (Studies in the History of Gardens and Landscape Design, 2007), “Beyond Cut-And-Paste” (Places: Forum of Design for the Public Realm, 2008), and “Laocoön” (City Secrets: Rome, Robert Kahn, editor, 2011). "Brushed slowly, deliberately, lovingly, but also delicately scratched, they represent thick patches of color that merge and oscillate ambiguously between the flat canvas and depth. They create an alluring imaginary space. Blues and gold but also touches of red vibrate both behind and in front of simple geometric shapes in black that echo the shape of the canvases themselves. These pictures are like living breathing presences. Both are dominated by different tones of fleshy pink: the flesh of Ares and Aphrodite. The viewer is invited to reach out and touch the painted surface of the canvases with their thick inviting impasto. Pure voluptas: a delectation to the eye, an invitation to the hand. Like all of Sand Iliescu’s works, these paintings are the objects of intense contemplation. They inspire contemplation. They do so with infectious delight and visionary fervor." Paul Barolsky from " 12 years in the life of Sanda Iliescu"
