Four of Romania’s top artists are at the Plymouth University’s Peninsula Art Gallery. It’s the first time they have been exhibited in the UK and the show marks a collaboration between the uni and the Romanian Cultural Institute, Heather Smith popped along to the show
The exhibition features the work of Anca Boeriu, Florica Prevenda, Alexandry Radvan and Florin Stoiciu, and the blurb says ‘this collection gives us a powerful and intriguing look into the culture and history of Romania’.
It’s a culture and history of the body dynamics of Boeriu, the experimental post modernist style of printmaker Stoicius and themes of identity by Prevenda.

In one thought-provoking image he turns the myth of the Minotaur on its head, portraying the beast bound, helpless and presumably in agony with a hoof nailed to the floor – the fearsome adversary of Theseus turned into a character worthy of pity. By displaying the Minotaur’s side of the story, Radvan seeks to challenge notions of western civilization.
