Radu Oreian
Radu Oreian (b.1984) is a Romanian artist who is currently based in Marseille, France. His practice has at its core the classical mediums of drawing and painting and he is interested in the way history, ancient myths and archives shape our society and our understanding of humanity. His ‘Molecular paintings’ are a miniature-like format of works that pulsate with details and thus intend to draw the viewer’s eye deeper and deeper into the fabric of the paint and hopefully deeper and deeper into the nature and meaning of painting. The red thread that runs through his works is creating a new, meditative visual imprint of a peculiar density that appears to exist in a pulsing state of tension and relaxation.
