Psycho games
Nagy ritkaság manapság, hogy egy művész ne hibrid művekkel lépjen elő, Adrian Sandu viszont úgy döntött, majdnem kizárólag metszeteket alkot. Így egyszerre koherens és mély munkákat sikerült létrehoznia egy gyakorlaton belül; ebben a szűk térben technikákat, formákat és látószögeket próbált ki, meséket mondott és világokat talált ki. Szellemi szüleit a grotesz és a fantasztikum művészei közt találta meg, akiknél a deformálódás a virtuozitás mértéke. Az ő munkái, melyek az ikonográfiai túlzás és a vonalvezetés tisztasága között húzódnak, olyanok, mint valami rejtélyes tárgyak a kortárs környezetben. Valószínű, hogy a kiállítás módja is hozzájárul ahhoz, hogy ilyen különösek. Ezekbe a dobozokba zárva inkább fraktális állatoknak tűnnek, melyeket a természettudományos múzeumokban vagy az érdekességeket tartalmazó termekben találunk. Az a világ, melyet Adrian Sandu teremt, obskúrus, kényelmetlen, s olykor még a saját maga számára is ilyen; másfelől azonban olyan cselekvési teret biztosít, melyben biztonságosan cselekedhet a jövőben. Olykor nem árt, ha nem vagy tisztában önnön korlátaiddal, hogy más dimenziókat fedezhess fel.
Este foarte rar ca un artist contemporan să nu-și hibridizeze practica, iar Adrian Sandu a ales să lucreze aproape exclusiv în gravură. În acest fel, el a putut să aibă un demers coerent dar și profund în interiorul unei practici; în acest spaţiu restrâns, a testat tehnici, forme și poziţionări, a spus povești și a inventat lumi. Artistul și-a găsit părinţi spirituali în artiștii grotescului și ai fantasticului, la care deformarea este o măsură a virtuozităţii. Lucrările lui, între exces iconografic și puritate a liniei, apar ca niște obiecte enigmatice în peisajul contemporan. Probabil că și modul de expunere le conferă această notă de stranietate. Închise în aceste casete par mai degrabă animale fractale, pe care le întâlnim în muzeele de știinţe ale naturii sau în cabinetele de curiozităţi. Lumea pe care Adrian Sandu o creează este obscură, inconfortabilă, uneori chiar și pentru el, dar capabilă să-i confere un spaţiu sigur de acţiune în viitor. Uneori este indicat să nu fii conștient de propriile-ţi limite pentru a descoperi alte dimensiuni.

Psycho Games
Rarely do contemporary artists choose not to hybridise their practice. Adrian Sandu has decided to focus almost exclusively on printmaking, thus succeeding in gaining a coherent and profound insight into the ins and outs of a particular artistic practice. In this confined space he has tested a number of different techniques, forms and positions, told stories and created worlds. The artist has found his spiritual ancestors in the artists of the grotesque and fantastic tradition, who regard the representation of deformity as a display of virtuosity. His works, which are memorable for their iconographic excess and purity of line, appear as enigmatic objects set in contemporary scenery. This air of eeriness is probably due to a particular way of presenting the topics. What appear in his works are mostly fractal animals, similar to those that can be seen at natural history museums or in cabinets of curiosities. The world created by Adrian Sandu in an obscure one, sometimes uncomfortable even for the artist himself. Yet, at the same time, it is capable of ensuring a safe space for future action. Sometimes it is advisable not to be aware of your own limits in order to discover other dimensions. Fordította Kémenes Árpád
