Ion Angel
The author speaks about his work as follows: “Through illusory windows, picto-objects or compositions, I question certain fashionable values. I try to decipher the hypothesis that artistic nonconformism as a form of self-expression contains a hidden, not frivolous spiritual harmony. It is also a resistance to dilettantism in the visual arts, to mass thinking, to the universal and permissive.”
His “Agoraphobia,” a message powerful but delivered with visual sensitivity, reminds us that art is not just a decorative aesthetic, but a profound way of thinking and understanding the world.
