EMILIA PERSU



Tapintó lélegzet

Emilia Persu spontánul fest, képei erőteljesek és finomak. Azoknak a művészeknek a táborába tartozik ő, akik a vászont betöltő performatív gesztust egy olyan mentális energiával párosítják, amely a legigazabb valóságból képes lényegíteni és absztrahálni a formákat, melyek archaikus szimbólumokká válnak, vagy konstrukciókká, melyek a természetre utalnak. Nagy terjedelmű festményei sokrétűen fénylő vagy sötétlő, sokszínű világokba vezetnek be, autentikus érzések és élmények világába, melyek befolyásolták az alkotó életét, és amelyeket bennünket is megérintenek. A tárgyak és az installációk a kép elrendezéséből, újrakonfigurálásából alakulnak át dinamikus jelenlétekké, melyek összetett környezetté válnak – a két dimenzió három dimenzióvá változik, a festmény tárggyá minősül át, a gesztust a textúrában fedezzük fel, s a szín mindezt a beavatás útvonalává teszi, ami segít abban, hogy a művész láthatatlan világát is felfedezzük. A részlet és az egész, a teli és az üres között harmonikus viszony jön létre a látszólag minimalista kompozíciókban. A határozott körvonalú formák és konstrukciók, amiket a kontrasztban lévő kromatikus felületek alapoznak meg, festészeti epidermiszben pompáznak, s ezen érződik a vászon megérintésének finomsága, egy tapintó, nőies lélegzet. A képnek egy olyan túlja van, melyben úgy találjuk meg magunkat, hogy saját állapotaink egy mnemonikus képernyőre vetülnek, és a kontemplációnak, a reflexiónak egy olyan terébe kerülünk, melyet Emilia Persu annak a művésznek a kiteljesedett boldogságával ajánl fel nekünk, aki a művészetet ajándéknak tartja.

Tactile Respiration Emilia Persu paints with spontaneity, force and grace being one of the artists who blend the performative movements appearing on the canvas with some mental capacity able to essentialise and/or to gracefully abstract shapes from the real world that grow into archaic symbols or into constructions with allusions to nature. Her paintings of large dimensions invite us to explore a range of chromatic, bright or gloomy universes, repositories of emotions and authentic experiences that have marked her existence and which viewers can empathise with. The objects and installations consist of assemblages and reconfigurations of images, drawings and picto-objects rendering them into dynamical presences that transform the exhibition space into a complex environment where the two-dimensional turns into three-dimensional, the painting transfigures into an object, gestures can be encountered in the texture, while colour unites them all into a route of initiation which helps us discover the artist’s unseen world. In the seemingly minimalist compositions there is a harmonious relationship between detail and whole, full and void. The constructions, well-defined shapes set against contrasting chromatic surfaces are clad in a pictorial epidermis where one can feel the softness of the touch on the canvas, a sort of female, tactile respiration. There is a certain feeling of ‘beyond the image’ where we can find ourselves passing through the mnemonic screen of our own states of mind, and enter a space of contemplation and reflection where Emilia Persu invites us with the serene happiness of a creator who regards art as a gift.

Respirație tactilă Emilia Persu pictează cu spontaneitate, forță și grație fiindcă ea face parte dintre artiștii care îmbină gestul performativ pe pânză cu forța unui mental apt să esențializeze / abstractizeze, cu grație din realitatea reală, forme ce devin simboluri arhaice sau construcții cu trimitere la natură. Picturile sale de dimensiuni mari ne invită în multiple universuri cromatice luminoase sau tenebroase , arhive de emoții și trăiri autentice, care i-au marcat existența, și cu care empatizăm. Obiectele și instalațiile se constituie din asamblaje și reconfigurări ale imaginii, desen și picto-obiect, în prezențe dinamice care transformă spațiul expozițional într-un environment complex - bidimensionalul se continuă în tridimensional, pictura se transfigurează în obiect, gestul se regăsește în textură iar culoarea le unifică într-un traseu inițiatic care ne ajută să descoperim lumea nevăzută a creatoarei. Există o relație armonioasă între detaliu și întreg, plin și vid în compoziții aparent minimaliste. Construcțiile / Forme bine definite, susținute de suprafețe cromatice aflate în contrast, sunt îmbrăcate într-o epidermă picturală în care se simte gingășia atingerii pânzei, o respirație tactilă, feminină. Există un dincolo de imagine în care ne regăsim trecând prin ecranul mnemonic al propriilor stări și intrăm într-un spațiu al contemplației și reflecției pe care Emilia Persu ni-l oferă cu bucuria împlinită a creatorului care consideră arta un dar.
