Two galleries in Brooklyn are now exhibiting artwork by Romanian artists. Painter Dan Voinea is showing at Slag Gallery, an event made possible with the support from the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York. Voinea makes his solo debut in New York City with a small number of oil paintings, seven or eight, perfectly suited for the gallery space. Seductive, dark, soulful, his works stand out and his technique shows a level of sophistication that delights. The show is called 'Absently Yours' and is on display until October 11.
The duo Cristian Bors and Marius Ritiu also show a small number of pieces that make a great impact. Their show titled 'Venus von Hamburg' is a smart social commentary on the economic crisis in Europe. It is on view at Open Source until September 28. More details about these shows can be found by clicking on the links above. I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have. Here are a couple of shots from the shows, be sure to go experience the artwork for yourself!

Venus von Hamburg, the great Greek beauty Venus de Milo is distorted
and disfigured. Her fate is no longer controlled by her people, but her
uncertain future has been dictated by politicians and executives. - See
