FLORIN UNGUREANU
(41 years old. Born in Romania. Lives in: London)
Goldsmiths College, University of London
Student MFA Fine Art at Goldsmiths College, University of London, 2006 - 2008.***
My work explores the concepts of power, politics, history, identity and death through irony and humour.***
I am interested in how they influence beliefs and perceptions by altering and subverting them.*** From here derives the desire to further explore the need for uncertainty and the metaphysical loneliness of the human being, addressing such issues as solitude, amnesia, memory, suppression, doubt and the sublime.

Work of art I would like to make
"The death of God means that there is no power in the world that could be perceived as being infinitely more powerful than any other." (Art Power, Boris Groys)
I would love to create a painting that will question power structures, issues of identity and notions of the "other", stereotypes and cliche in both East and West.
I will transpose the subject matter onto a circular or elliptical canvas, representative of an all seeing eye, to provide glimpses into a world of ambiguous imagery.
Then we will be left questioning ourselves whether this will provide us with a post-communist detritus or a postcard from brave new worlds?
Through using this ambiguity combined with humour and irony I will further explore the need for uncertainty and the metaphysical loneliness of the human being.
"If man knew the future, he would not have to choose and would not act. He would be like an automaton, reacting to stimuli without any will of his own." (Human Action, Ludwig von Mises) |
