Geta Brătescu is the first artist to whom a personal exhibition was dedicated at the Romanian Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, in 2017. An avant-garde enthusiast, Geta Brătescu approaches art multidisciplinary and expresses herself in painting, graphics, collage, assembly or performance. The artist has a dual specialization, in art and letters, and studies simultaneously with George Călinescu, Tudor Vianu and Camil Ressu. The artist will constantly oscillate between the canvas surface and paper, leaving behind and a significant written work. This latter will be divided between diaries, research and prose, aiming at both her thoughts on art and thoughts and impressions that the artist records in journeys. With an eclectic approach, Geta Brătescu will choose as her primary subjects the brush, scissors and paper. Regardless of the final result, her entire work is reduced to drawing, to the geometry and to the dance of the forms. Even in painting, the artist cuts the composition, works fragmentary, divides the elements and then combines them in an unexpected sequence, creating essentially a kind of plastic collage. We can talk about a choreography executed from the wrist, supported by the dexterity of the hand and ended by moving the brush from the fingertips. In the economy of her creation, art is perceived as play, or art can only be for the artist an infinite space dedicated to experiment and uninterrupted exercise. The workshop thus becomes a sacred space, regardless we talk about the actual physical space or about a shrine of the mind in which the artist carries out her imaginary exercises. Geta Brătescu will continuously develop her technical procedures and will often return to self-representation. She finds her sources of inspiration in ancient art or in texts or characters such as Medea, Aesop, Faust or Mutter Courage. She works in an intimate, personal register, in which she assimilates and brings closer to her personality the characters who inspire her. During her entire career, the artist operates both with the text and with the image; and the form of literary expression will sometimes replace the image.
