On the topic of his new works, the artist stated: “There is not enough orange, yellow and red in the world to express the dry incandescence of the worlds that I dream about. The characters are drenched by light and drugged with brilliant colors. Shapes are irradiated by the hot atmosphere and purified, they will be tightened and clarified until they begin to resemble with figures from the beginning of the world, massive, brutal and candid in the same time. It is a hot, imperfect, human geometry. It is a hectic order of strong emotions, of feelings without hue. Everything into a torrid light.”

Alexandru Rădvan
Alexandru Rădvan was born in 1977. He grew up in Bucharest and studied from 1996 to 2000 at the National University of Art Bucharest in the class of professor Florin Mitroi. 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. His works have been presented over the years in numerous solo and group shows of which we will mention: "Island for Umberto", Anaid Art Gallery, Berlin, Germany (2020), "The Oldest Day", ARCUB, Bukarest, Romania (2019); "Partner for the Abyss", Bazis Contemporary, Cluj, Romania (2019); "The Sculptor's Studio", Museum of Art, Arad, Romania (2018); "Untochable Love" Anaid Art Gallery, Berlin, Germany (2018); "Monuments on the Move - Barbar", French Cultural Institute, Bucharest, Romania (2018); "Divine decadence", Kasteel van Gaasbeek, Gaasbeek, Belgium (2016); "Bucharest Artistic Education and Romanian Art After 1950", National Museum of Contemporary Art (MNAC), Bucharest, Romania (2015); "Badly Happy", Marina Abramović Institute West (The Performance Art Institute), San Francisco, USA (2010); "Messiahs", Modem - Center for Modern and Contemporary Art, Debrecen, Hungary (2009).

View AllMy childhood - 21st Century, Landscape, Yellow, Green, Blue, Figurative
By Alexandru Rădvan
Located in Baden-Baden, DE
My Childhood, 2013
Acrylic on canvas (Signed front right corner)
79 1/2 H × 127 1/5 W in.
202 H × 323 W cm
The artwork “My childhood” was part of the exhibition “Epic”(2013, see install shot) dedicated to the great adventurer Ulysses, a character that has the only desire to come back home. Returning home involves a series of adventures, memories, desires, tests. Heraclitus in Plato's "Cratylus" was saying: "Everything changes and nothing stays still [...] you cannot step twice in the same river."
"My Childhood" is about remembering an ideal time, about sunny days full of warmth and freedom. It's about childhood, as we remember it over years, as a time and place with unprecedented perfumes.
Rădvan wrote about this work: “It has happened that none of the places where I grew up exist anymore. Either they have disappeared, or they have changed so much that they have become a new place that does not mean anything for me, which I do not have a common history. I avoid them because it makes me sad not to recognize them and I do not want them to hate them. This painting is an old memory of my "Paradiso perduto".
