With Zinaida Capațîna, Sabina Drinceanu, Andreea Floreanu, Adelina Gavrilă, Theodor Grigoraș, Ingrid Juncanariu, Ștefan Doru Moscu & Luminița Radu

From September 2 to September 27, 2024, Elite Art Gallery hosts the exhibition of the artists who were part of this year's Balchik Art Residency, a project initiated by Elite Art Club Association more than 20 years ago. Preserving the driving force of the place, the new generation of artists has responded to the challenge of interpreting Balchik’s spirit in a way that reflects contemporary sensibilities and concerns, resulting in a series of works that not only honor the past but also transform it. From figurative compositions to abstract pulsations, the eight artists have embraced the boundary between tradition and innovation, weaving an endless dialog between eras.
