The encounter between Francisc Chiuariu and Lucian Țăran unfolds as a profound visual conversation, a meeting of two distinct yet resonant voices exploring the human experience. Chiuariu, a painter whose career spans three decades, brings a restless spirit of experimentation to his craft. His journey has traced a remarkable arc—from raw, primal figurativism and neo-expressionism to lyrical abstraction, and back again to a rediscovery of the figurative, now infused with the ephemeral poetry of the everyday. Shadows of urban paths, the tenderness of childhood, the fleeting gestures of a passerby—all find their place in his work, layered with cultural echoes and sharp, ironic commentary on the present. With a gaze both inquisitive and archival, often aided by the lens of a camera, he dances between reality and fantasy, revealing the delicate strata of existence with a sensibility that is at once playful and profound. In dialogue with Chiuariu’s vision, Lucian Țăran, a sculptor-ceramist, transforms raw material into sculpted tales that brim with narrative depth. His art, laced with irony and humor, probes the absurdities of contemporary society while reflecting on humanity’s primordial purpose. Together, these two artists forge a dynamic exchange: Chiuariu’s fluid interplay of observation and imagination meets Țăran’s tangible, fable-like meditations on being.
