Mobius Gallery proudly announces the opening of Mirror for The Full Moon, a
solo show by Andrei Gamarț, curated by Răzvan Ion.
For the last few years, Andrei Gamarț has dedicated his work to an intense
study upon the relationship among matter, light, and memory. Andrei Gamarț
canvases reveal fractures of a world that seems out of time and space, sending
off an unsettleting sense of eerie familiarity that the viewer can never quite
identify or define. The artist envisions works that leave the viewer free to
build up her or his own narrative expectations.
"Mirror for The Full Moon is a concise analysis of the work of Andrei Gamart,
work that recalls Ferenczi and the concept of countertransference. Here, a
clear countertransference between Gamart's imagination and the reality of his
pieces sends you into a profound introspection of the ego.
For Andrei Gamart the idea of finding the path to the self is primarily one of
radical self-transformation, an experience in which human identity is not
static and knowledge is uncertain, and both are subject to constant
reassessment and change. This attempt at gaining identity and knowledge leads
to the accumulation and spreading of information. In the words of Derrida - a
play of différance. But the disclosure of identity is limited by
self-constraint, by the "granite layer of spiritual fate", by "predetermined"
responses to questions, and by an unchanging attitude of "this is me" – all
decreed as untouchable "convictions" belonging to depths of the soul. The study
is fixed on the concept of "learning to figure things out". The self is a
manufactured construct that has been taught how to limit learning/further
study. Criticism of these limitations therefore offers us a theory of escape.
Gamart provides an aesthetic and visual analysis of the limitations of a
possible escape. The subconscious darkness.” (Răzvan Ion, curator)
