gallery rosenfeld presents a new solo exhibition from Romanian artist Teodora Axente this autumn. A member of the Cluj School in Romania, the artist forms part of a new group of young painters, whose preoccupation with the uncertainty of the individual in modern society manifests itself in a dark, sultry palette, featuring eerie and ambiguous figures.
In this exhibition, From Horizon of the Matter, Rises the Vertical of the Soul, Axente applies a driven sense of discomfort to the viewer. Themes of decay, aging and societal destruction
feature heavily in her work, which takes its inspiration from the Dutch Golden Age of Painting, Early Renaissance and Sienese School. Creating a visual college solely through oils on canvas, the artist invites the viewer into a world of her own; where her figurative subjects are immersed in an environment that straddles the tangible, material, spiritual and elusive.
