PLACE MARKED
The structured movement of horizontally raised elements controlled by the end accents or chromatic degradations are temporal sequences that remind of the great migrations and contemporary displacements. The artist allows the viewer to sink into his canvas as a clear sea or float on a starless sky to discover that what is in the form is much profounder and deeper than expected. Repetitive on the surface , in squares cut in the form of inserts made from space, the portions of matter and physical space intuitively overlapped suggestively to give rise to a metaphorical dimension of the composition. The poetry of the artist sends to the present, at the transfigurations that take place at the individual level as a result of collective transformations.

Of The Earth
The earth gathers and shifts. From the smallest of piles one can gather in a fistful, to the churned soil from the foundations of a building, we are confronted with a temporal process. The soil will nurture another tree, another dream, another becoming. The earth decomposes itself it creates territories. It dictates borders and it falters into seas. It finds its way across myths and it appears in our mythologies and pasts. Earth, dust, soil.

The concept of “assemblage” from which I started is the reuse of textile material ‘worn’ by each of my friends. I chose the person to be represented by a disc, not random, but as a bi-dimensional reduction of the sphere which portrays the ‘egg of the world’. We will find in each artwork the soul, circle – white, and the body, substance – colors. 17 flags are hoisted, a sort of personal statement, with positive energy forming an entire ensemble on wheels which can put in motion a march of good feelings, of the joy to live.

I am looking at a tangled, twisted and indecipherable pile of guitar strings wanting to give them a new purpose. I am wondering how were they used ? What sign has been imprinted in them? Is it music? Are the sounds sharp or flat? But can it also be tuning instruments?
I am stepping in on blue shade canvases, with a new musical composition in order to create harmonious tensions, geometrical shapes or sinusoids by alternating slim and thick lines, in another sort of easel graphics. Growth, germination, mathematical graphics and positive symbols full of optimism will be found.

The False Shame
“Painter Ileana Stefanescu (“Ile Sefi” from now on) volumetrically fills visual space with ‘mannequins’: a sort of carnivorous-orchids made from cellulose waste and veils of colored wire. Thus she obtains unusual postures of torsos modeled in industrial paste paper. Butaforically, but also metaphorically, it is about chopped magazines (glossy ones let’s assume) whose canopy mortar becomes leather for anatomically shaped framings. Husked, easy-going and even kinetically, the faceless dames ‘installed’ by Stefi in the Simeza Gallery accompany a frieze full of narrative intrigues…” Aurelia Mocanu, June 2012.
