„Space of alienation or of self liberation, the body becomes, for two of the most important visual artists in Romania, Bogdan Rata and Mihai Zgondoiu, a place of research, alchemy of post-modern times and self knowledge. We are faced with a creation that takes a look at the Inside, where the dark, the abyss and the seed of light exist. Beyond the stylistic execution that assimilates both the canon and anti-canon, it remains the joy of discovering in the corpuscle of a form the wave of Creation and the metaphysics of a look in which it is walking, seen or unseen, the Particle of God.”

“Bogdan Raţa şi Mihai Zgondoiu nu sunt doar doi artişti tineri, ci şi doi bărbaţi tineri pentru care trupul este un univers extrem de ofertant. Şi, ca orice univers, el pare infinit şi este plin de surprize, tentaţii, necunoscute, bucurii, angoase, metamorfoze. Iar ei nu se mulţumesc să-l exploreze… epidermatic, adică nu rămîn doar bărbaţi, ci îl sondează cu instrumentele artei vizuale. Îl… rup şi călătoresc prin el. O parte din ce au descoperit ei se poate vedea. Şi se poate explora mai departe!”
„Bogdan Raţa and Mihai Zgondoiu are not just two young artists but two young men for which the body is an extremely plentifull universe. And, like any other universe, it seems infinite and full of surprises, temptations, mysteries, joys, anguishes, metamorphoses. And they are not satisfied with just exploring it…at an epidermic level, meaning they dont remain just men but they fathom it with the instruments of visual art. They..tear it and they travel inside it. A part from what they discovered can be seen. And can be explored beyond!”
