About the Item
Ulysses I, 2011
Acrylic on canvas (Signed on reverse)
7 9/10 H × 7 9/10 W in.
20 H × 20 W cm
The artwork "Ulysses I" was part of the solo show “Epic”. This exhibition, as the artist confessed, “is about Ulysses and I, Alexandru Rădvan, about the strong relationship between us. For me, Ulysses is not a mythological character, he really exists, he is alive and lives in me since I was a child and I was being read from the book «The Adventures of Ulysses»”.
The total identification of the artist Alexandru Rădvan with the Ulysses character generates an ample series of drawings, cement reliefs, paintings and large size sculptures. They underline a personal odyssey which reflects the moral and physical portrait, their deeds and relations regarding the environment in relative objectivity.

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.

My childhood - 21st Century, Landscape, Yellow, Green, Blue, Figurative

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".

"Idiot Wind, Sweet Reason", acrylic painting, duality, politics, humanity
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Idiot Wind, Sweet Reason" is an acrylic painting on canvas measuring 24" high by 36" wide. Again cutting to the quick, Dale Williams posits our best and worst instincts as a duality, and that duality as a confrontation. There's nowhere to hide in any of William's paintings, that's part of the charge coming off his canvases. That's particularly true with this painting – as hideous as these personnages may be in Idiot Wind and Sweet Reason, we recognize their struggle for grace.
Press Release 2018: "Williams acknowledges a large range of influences on his vision: the moral lessons embodied in the works of 17th century engraver Jacques Lagniet, the darkling phantasms and tragic reportage of Goya’s Caprichos and Disasters of War, and the personal mythologizing of the late paintings of Philip Guston. Such works echo throughout Williams social surrealist re-visioning." – George Del Barrio, Vanderbilt Republic, Brooklyn NY
Dale Williams has exhibited in the New York City area for the past 25 years. He is a 2014 recipient of a Fellowship in Printmaking/Drawing/Book Arts from the New York Foundation for the Arts. His most recent one-person show, “America Now Suite,” which re-visioned American history in service of the civic imagination, was held at Gowanus Loft, Brooklyn in October 2018. A selection of portraits from “America Now Suite” was included in the BRIC Biennial, Winter/Spring 2019. His portrait of Osip Mandelstam...

"Outskirts", acrylic painting, duality, nature, humanity, chaos, dream, myth
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Outskirts" is an acrylic painting with collage elements on canvas, measuring 38" high by 44" wide. There's nowhere to hide in any of William's paintings, that's part of the charge coming off his canvases. That's particularly true with this painting – we immediately see that everything is wrong, hands coming out of trees, a human head on a horse or dog. Yes it's Mythic but even there it's wrong, the legs are impossibly crossed. In fact little of this painting can be true and yet here it is. Out of control, left over and residual ways and means of living life. Who or what are we now?

"Falling Figure", acrylic painting, red devil, dream, myth, poetry, flight
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Falling Figure" is an acrylic painting on canvas measuring 16" high by 16" wide. The title may be somewhat disingenuous – falling figure indeed – with cloven hoofs, red skin and horns on head suggesting a demon's fall from grace. The demon? Mythic and humanitarian all at once, the figure appears to be wearing stylish shorts and gives the thumbs up sign on the way down. Perhaps an all too familiar predicament as we tumble toward our own destinies...
