Remus Grecu: The Best Of All Possible Worlds
Aug 03, 2024 - Sep 07, 2024
Steve Turner is pleased to present The best of all possible worlds, the debut solo exhibition for Bucharest-based Remus Grecu which features new paintings that depict idyllic scenes and the radiant beauty of a central female character. They are filled with light, happiness and beautiful color through depictions of rich silk garments, ripe fruit, blue skies and snow-capped mountains. They were inspired by Renaissance paintings which have luminous color as well as compositions that combine interiors with windows onto the outside world. The woman in Grecu鈥檚 paintings is inspired by Cunegunde, a character from Voltaire鈥檚 Candide that symbolizes the ephemeral nature of youthful beauty. According to Grecu, these paintings are a counterpoint to the deeply flawed world we now inhabit, my vision of the best of all possible worlds.
