Event: ''People- Rise or Fall''
Dates: 9 Apr 2019 - 11 May 2019
Gabriel Grama’s exhibition "People - Rise or Fall" presents to the public a series of large and medium-sized works that were created in 2017-2018. The technique in most works is acrylic on canvas. The artist performs an "assemblage" game using thousands of human and animal figures, creating a special collage, a mosaic whose pieces are faces, ancient statues, kores and kouroi, horses, ascension scenes, struggle and anguish scenes, mythical beings and animals.
The artist uses at the basis the sculptural form, to which he adds minimal color, preferably blue and dark blue.
A basic source of inspiration is ancient Greece with its stories, myths as well as the Romanian pagan customs of the New Year, the rhythms and the traditional art of the Balkans and the Middle East.
