DONALD SIMIONOIU
Cupluri cuminti / Placid Couples
ulei pe panza / oil on canvas, 2006
chosen by Ruxandra Balaci

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In portretele sale Simionoiu aduce tipologii inconfundabile de romani ai zilelor noastre â antieroi, grotesti, subtil induiosatori sau rizibili, the average Romanian in anii 2000. Portretele se plaseaza undeva intre ironia subtila, revelabila la a doua lectura si retorica unui romantism cliseizat; se construieste amuzant si grav in jurul unui pattern al amorului si umorului de apartament de bloc. Pictura tonics, plina de finete si forta Ãn acelasi timp, isi asuma sarcina dificila de a devoala le cache des individus et dâune partie de la societe.
