LIVING FLESH

With Alexandru Ranga, Harun Mazlam, Cristiana Tărbuc, 1-Q Sapro, Sergiu Chihaia, Lăcră Grozăvescu, Rebeca Ionescu, Mihai Voicu, Marius Damian, Mircea Modreanu, Rebeca Ulici, Răzvan Năstase
Curated by Mihai Voicu
“Living Flesh” brings into discussion the external world, through its tangible dimension, and the inner universe of mental representations and affect. As an essential exercise of thought, the works test the balance between reason, emotion, and instinct, contributing to the articulation of a logic of viscerality through the artists’ affective experiences, exploring fear, vulnerability, courage, curiosity, and the desire for self-transcendence, encapsulating the human experience. The artists explore this theme by analyzing their own fragility, impulses, and needs. In this way, an image closely connected to everyday reality is outlined, developed through new forms of expression, revealing another facet of a universal theme.

Tell us about LeiLei Gallery.

Leilei Gallery is a new presence on the contemporary art scene in Romania. Founded in 2020 by visual artist Leilei Chen, the gallery was born out of a desire to create a cultural dialogue between the European and Asian contemporary art scenes. Leilei Chen, who came to Bucharest to study visual arts at the National University of Arts, brought with her a rich experience gained in China, where she also studied visual arts. Since its debut on the Romanian art scene, Leilei Gallery's mission has been to promote and stimulate local contemporary creation in all its diversity and to connect it with the international art scene. The gallery proposes transgenerational and transmedia exhibition projects, involving both established artists and emerging young artists in its programs. We promote various artistic practices, from painting and sculpture to video art, installation, performance, sound experiments,NFTs, and more.

Currently, Leilei Gallery is presenting the group exhibition Living Flesh, curated by Mihai Voicu. The exhibition brings together twelve artists and explores the relationship between body, emotion, and representation, placing the inner experience in dialogue with the external world. As part of the Doi Joi program, visitors are invited to discover the exhibition through a guided tour that offers context and insights into the artistic approaches presented.
