“History, as I saw it” –
Exhibition signed by Gheorghe I. Angel, at the ICR Gallery Brussels
Between November and December 2021, the Gallery of ICR Brussels hosts an extraordinary painting exhibition entitled “History as I saw it”, signed by Master Gheorghe I. Angel. The exhibition offers a fantastic interpretation of mythology, the theme of the artist’s preference, while, at the same time, a timeless approach – imply very current – from the point of view of the message of the works.
“The works in this exhibition are part of a series of concerns that I had 30 years ago.” They appeared when I thought that research on archaeological sites, completed by travels around the world, especially in Patrida, could bear fruit in what is also seen in this exhibition. I think history, as I have seen it, is the history through which I found my Levantine roots, that I only knew through stories. Myths (mythos), that is, these seductive lies, have fascinated me since childhood, but their charm of the past, over time, has become the search for a truth that, these days, is only mine.” (Gheorghe Angel)
