Artist Statement:
My style is a combination
between easel and wall
painting. More pieces which
are assembled together,
creating a full image, a piece
of work. Space, as usual,
circumscribes the work, the
wall ( the vital space around
the picture ) is inserted in
the piece of work, becoming in
this way an element ( having
plastic valences) of the
composition.
The piece of work,
in whose substance is also
integrated the wall where it
is placed, remindes of the
wall painting , having a
better comunication with the
environment unbeing isolated
from it by a frame or a closed
shape ( square, rectangle
etc).
The base of my
painting consists of the
plastic rhythm ( the whole
composition relying on the
arrangement of similar
elements) and the use of
different ways of the elements
materialization ( brush-up ) .
The roots lie in
the Byzantine painting ( and,
generally, I feel closer to
the solutions found by the
primitive artists). But I also
admire the modern artists,
such as Malevici, Klee or
Mondrian.

Press Release ::: Agora Gallery
Matei Enric's paintings combine the techniques of easel and wall painting, creating images which both integrate and create an aesthetic environment of symbolism and intrigue. Enric draws on varied influences, including Byzantine painting and modern masters such as Malevich, Klee or Mondrian. The assemblage-like works create a scene by integrating their background: "Space circumscribes the work; the wall (the vital space around the picture) is inserted in the piece of work, becoming in this way an element of the composition." The compositions reveal fluid natural rhythms as well as materializing a fusion between visual geometry and linguistic communication.
Enric was born and studied art restoration in Romania and currently resides in Bucharest. He has exhibited his works across Romania in both group and solo shows, has restored many works of classical and ancient painting, and taken part in scenography for shows in Romania and France. His paintings can be found in private collections in Romania, Serbia, Hungary, Italy, and the United States.
