“Greucean” – logo pentru super-eroul roman a fost expus la Comikaze Expo LA, cel mai mare targ de pop culture si banda desenata de pe Coasta de Vest. “Suntem in tratative pentru a definitiva un contract de francizare a logoului si a intra in productie si distributie in Statele Unite”, ne informeaza artistul roman Eugene al Pann (foto st).
Eugene al Pann, ale carui lucrari le gasiti si pe Facebook, la Art Wear (Albums) si, in curand, si in cadrul unei manifestari artistice din Bucuresti, promoveaza si tinerii artisti de Pop Art romanesc, pe care ii prezinta ca fenomene ale miscarii “realismului socialist-capitalist”. Dintre personajele politice ale vremii, blogul Pop Art Magazine a decis sa il expuna, pentru inceput, pe Traian Basescu.
Socialist- Capitalist Realism as a pop art deviation picks up on artists concerned about the direction society goes. Reflecting political personalities, moments and actions this new form of socio-artistic dialog focuses on issues that concerns everyone.Colo Nelu, a young Romanian artist, portrays President Basescu as Zeus ( acrilyc,bronze/canvas, 70 x 100 cm, 2011 ). Former Commercial Captain, Traian Basescu’s portrait targets his background as well as his attitude as president.
Traian Basescu is recently seen as a pop figure. No Romanian president influenced the artists as much as Basescu does since the fall of communism. Former president Nicolae Ceausescu had artwork commission through the Union of Artist during his presidency but it is wildly known that most dictators proceeded so.“ Shame on You, Dinu Patriciu” points to a certain historical moment ( The President shows emotions and vulnerability in front of his opposant wrongful media pressure ) and is portrait crying.( Eugene Al Pann, acrylic on canvas, 150 x 50 cm, 2011)
Recently a 13 year old kid decides to go pop and… starts his artistic adventure with a portrait of Basescu.( charcoal on paper, 41 x 29 cm, 2011 )
Regardless the political attitude such a strong influence of a public figure should not be taken more than a reflection of the actions.
