Claudiu Lazăr

Claudiu Lazăr (b.1997, Suceava, Romania) recreates using imagination and brings into the realm of presence, of sensitive things, a surplus of inner reality. He constitutes his work in a myriad of similar figures in terms of projects, yet different via their execution, as an open series in which every element is a provisionary subassembly. As a principle of unity, the pleasure of repetition with a predetermined category of topics that cannot be understood without integrating its formative states. Whether talking about sketches or the simple position of the paint stroke, Claudiu brings his ideas to life with his technique, focusing on a primitive, sought-after and a priori imagined brush stroke. At the beginning his canvases vibrated with internal anguish; now he also x-rays the exterior, looking for elements of collective spirituality. He currently lives and works in Romania, after he took part in a residence in Berlin.
