PARLIAMENT PALACE, INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CENTER, “CONSTANTIN BRANCUŞI” EXHIBITION HALL invites you to visit the visual art exhibition IMAGINARY MEDIEVAL FLAGS 2024, the 3rd edition, which will be open between October 1-31, 2024, at the Hall of Exhibitions, “Constantin Brâncuşi”, 2-4 Izvor street, sector 5, Bucharest.
"The exhibited works reflect a multitude of views on heraldic imagery and propose approaches in various techniques, from fabrics in the traditional haute-lisse technique or fabrics in newer techniques such as felting or mechanical embroidery, to painting on canvas, painting on glass, digital collage, woodcut on canvas, tempera painting on wood, hand print. Many of the works are made in mixed media. The shapes of the compositions presented in the 3rd edition of the project are reminiscent of the shield which is the main element of a coat of arms, but also of the flag. On these surfaces, from different materials, the artists represented, interpreting heraldic symbols in a contemporary key. Some of them only suggested such symbols, using the suggestions from heraldic art only as a pretext or as a starting point for creating unique images, with varied shapes, colors and textures, free expressions of their vision.” (Phd. Luiza Barcan, critic and art historian).
