“…takes us back to a time before digitalisation, when taking photos of leisure time was itself a lively free-time activity.”
Sebastian Hosu
Curator: Lotte Laub
December 15, 2019 – January 3, 2020
Anca Poterașu Gallery, Bucharest
Leisure Life, Hosu’s first solo exhibition in Bucharest, comprises oil paintings, charcoal drawings and oil-and-charcoal hybrids. His charcoal drawings are themselves reminiscent of photographic negatives, as if light and dark have been interchanged, as if we’re looking at night-time shots, the lighting and motifs suggestive of ominousness and enigma respectively. This stands in contrast to the summery colours of the oil paintings.
“…the body in the landscape. Some of Hosu’s works resemble studies in which he is focusing on key gestures and the interplay of human beings and nature”
