„…am primit multiple invitatii de a merge in Piata si le-am promis ca voi merge, dar nu voi anunta nici ora, nici macar ziua in care voi merge in Piata, fiindca nu vreau sa fac din asta un eveniment media, ci vreau sa merg sa vorbesc si eu cu oameni simpli care sunt in Piata... „

Klaus Iohannis, presedintele Romaniei

Zidane's revenge

I don’t want this painting to be perceived as an attack to Zinedine Zidane’s legacy in the history of football. On the contrary, I respect him a lot and and love him, as I showed later here .

I understand that, as a sportman, sometimes somebody does not so good things on the pitch, especially if provoked. I used upper Zizou’s iconic gesture because it is one of the best known ever in contemporary culture to show that sometimes people do mistake when provoked, even if I don't support that kind of revenge mentality.

Taka-Haka versus Tiki-Taka

The rugby world cup just began. Would this event capture the world’s attention against football competitions?

Celui-ci n’est pas Harry Potter

acrylic 120/100 cm

The text for this image is this:

"at the macrosocial level, in the culture history, there has happened the same phenomenon of entropy that occurs at the microsocial level with a specific cultural current. This phenomenon reflects the mode item dynamics. After being launched as avant-garde, any current then gets popular, and then it ends up out of mode. In this stage, the present public is no more inspired by it, and goes next to another cultural form that will also have the same destiny. The values, the techniques and the technology of traditional art have been assimilated by a nonelite public, and thus, its essential function for civilization has been lost, as dealing with mediocre spiritual products. So, the art has moved its center of gravity to the conceptual item, after the journalistic and the mode items have became popular and turned into the mass culture".

So who's the king now, Roy?

My childhood hero, now under the theoretical art. Acrylic on canvas 100/120 cm:

The text for this image comes from my book "The basics of theoretical art" as quoted here:

"As form the ancient ideology there have emerged the science like physics, psychology, anatomy, botany, etc. in the same way these two elements, journalistic and mode, came to be separated from the old traditional art body. Journalistic item industrially developed into press and the mode item came to be industrially made by designers. The fact that explosion of media (initially as newspapers) since the mid-nineteenth century emerged once with the appearance of impressionism (which is the first current of modern art) is not just a coincidence. The two phenomena are very intimately related. Then there was when a major separation that took place in the history of art. On the one hand the journalistic item became press and consumerist art as a press extension and on the other hand the mode item became modern art in first phase and then it became design after the commercial interest stepped into the modern avantgarde that reached the second and even third level of art entropy previously mentioned. Thus the design met in a kind of circle with consumerist art to which the other direction derived in through the utilitarian function that was applied to.

In this way, at the macrosocial level, there has occurred in the cultural history the same phenomenon of entropy that occurs at microsocial level with a cultural current that reflects the dynamic of mode item. After launching as the avantgarde any current then gets popular and then it gets out of mode, do not inspire the present public anymore that go next to another culture form that will have also the same destiny. The values, the techniques and the technology of traditional art have been assimilated by a nonelite public and thus its essential function for civilization has been lost for filling with mediocre products in terms of spiritual. The conceptual item was that to which the art has moved the center of gravity after the journalistic and mode item became popular and turned into mass culture. "

Propunerea mea pentru zidul din Piata Sf. Gheorghe

Am fost si voi ramane un partizan al libertatii de expresie, cu conditia ca expresia sa nu atace virulent alte manifestari spirituale si alte culturi. Am ingrosat virulent pentru ca orice libertate de expresie ataca ceva, altfel n-am mai invoca aceasta libertate. Am avut dubiile mele fata de chestiunea Charlie Hebdo , dar asta mai mult datorita propagandei politice ce inca se poate exploata pe baza acestui eveniment:

 http://baldovin.blogspot.ro/2015/01/atentat-terorist-in-franta.html

In cazul de fata avem de aface cu o adevarata barbarie. Invocarea atacului artistilor asupra mentalitatii religioase nu are baza solida, deoarece este unul voalat, normal pentru o atitudine artistica. Pur si simplu anumite mentalitati cu alura medievala nu pot suporta o alta viziune asupra ceva. Ei au in minte incolonarea totalitarista in spiritul careia au fost educati. De la statutul de victima pe timpul totalitarismului comunist, iata ca biserica s-a identificat cu propriul calau, devenind calau in totalitarismul corporatist. O astfel de mentalitate mai are putin si e in stare sa te apostrofeze pentru ca nu iti face cruce in fata apropierii vreunei biserici.

Aici e propria mea viziune despre zidul din Piata Sf. Gheorghe:
