Self-portrait at the Beginning of Time, 2019
Acrylic on canvas
88 31/32 H x 34 29/64 in.
226 H x 87.5 W cm
Rădvan's multifaceted self-portraits are also a reference to Narcissus, a mirroring of his own “I” in various interpretations. This is how the four self-portraits - "Self-portrait as a Cautious Hero"; "Self-portrait at the Beginning of History"; "Self-portrait at the Beginning of Time"; "Self-portrait as Marsyas" - are born, by representing an "I" enhanced. The rough, unveiled sexuality, often seeks the marginal, the exception, the abnormal, the fabulous.
Sexuality is used as a tool to give a milestone about the abyss, to create order in disorder. It is a fine-tone representation of a de-doubled "I", which is reinterpreting oneself with himself.

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). His works are in important public and private collections in Romania, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Israel, France, Italy, Greece and the USA. He works and lives in Bucharest. Since 2005 is represented by Anaid Art Gallery Bucharest / Berlin.
