34. Hyphen [1993]

Paul Neagu will exhibit for the first time a work created under the auspices of the "Hyphen" in 1975, within the Museum of Modern Art in Oxford. We will observe an evolution of the concept that will stretch over several decades. From the first sketches of Hyphen, dating from the '70s until the introduction of that "New Hyphen", around the '90s, Paul Neagu will propose and remodel an archetypal form well embedded in collective memory. The isosceles triangle of the '70s will obsessively return in sketches, drawings, objects, and sculptural forms of different sizes and materials. Detached from his generative art, the "New Hyphen" will surprise the audience with varied consistency. From wood, leather, or metal; to pencil, tempera, pastel or oil, the incipient tripod structure will become the catalyst element that will suffer different permutations over the several decades of existence. The Hyphen has the power to connect and disconnect, but will also be perceived as a form of embracing differences. The branches and interconnected forms will be located at the border between space and time; energy and matter. If at first, the concept materialized in the form of a pivot or a tripod anchor, over time it took the form of an unconventional prototype, converging beyond the aesthetic side and taking on the intellectual valences of the shape.
