He starts by scribbling paper sheets with a blue ball pen, then places a transparent screen with the found image on them and, finally, exposes them to sunlight for weeks or months. The two archival images on which the works for <em>miart<\/em> are based are stills from super 8mm films shot by the artist\u2019s father in the 1970s and 1980s.<\/p>\n<p><em>Th\u00e9o Massoulier<\/em>\u2019s work is centered on hybrid structures. In the \u20185G\u2019 series of sculptures, the French artist synthesizes minerals and plants with scraps of human techn\u0113. Massoulier is particularly interested in the autonomy of modern machines and devices, which have their own ways of processing information and communicating with one another and their environment without a human agent, and in the humans\u2019 emotions towards self-aware automatons.<\/p>\n<p>The Chi\u0219in\u0103u-born, D\u00fcsseldorf-based artist <em>C\u0103t\u0103lin P\u00eeslaru<\/em> sketches his compositions digitally and builds them by hand with delicate lines that meet pigment-thick shapes. The results preserve the neatness of the digital visual language but also show the marks of classic painting techniques. Forgoing canvas, he experiments with materials such as HPL panels.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Mihai Pl\u0103tic\u0103<\/em>\u2019s recent body of work is inspired by the \u201cHarvard Computers\u201d \u2013 the women hired beginning in 1881 to study the Harvard Observatory\u2019s photography collection. The works selected for <em>miart<\/em> are either directly connected to this collection (the photogravures on iron plates that replicate old images of stars) or build upon the idea of making the invisible visible through full-spectrum photography and photoelasticity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gaep\u2019s booth\u00a0will be on view from April 4 to April 6 at Allianz MiCo Central.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Photo: R\u0103zvan Anton, Fading Study (man holding hand in front of camera), 2024; courtesy of the artist and Gaep)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>simona@romania-insider.com<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gaep will participate at miart 2025, Milan\u2019s international art fair, with a presentation covering two new sun prints by R\u0103zvan Anton, assemblages by Th\u00e9o Massoulier, paintings by C\u0103t\u0103lin P\u00eeslaru and photographs by Mihai Pl\u0103tic\u0103.
