Costin Brǎteanu is joining together naturalism, decorative painting, geometry and the abstract. His operating range is best defined through the “post” prefix. In fact, it is about a process of a meta-postmodernist origin. Besides, for Brǎteanu is more fitting the visual artist term than that of a painter, meaning that his system of applied aesthetic thought entails the deconstruction and reconfiguration of images. The mysteries of chromatics and perspective are mastered by the artist, in whose work prevails, let’s say, the matrix side of reality, before the objective-realistic one. Preoccupied by the transferring techniques of the visual system from unconventional palettes, may it be knives, antimacassars or various other surfaces, on the support of the final works, Costin Brǎteanu proves, without having set himself to do this, a particular sense of rhythm. The game of frequency depths of the colors that he relates together bring up the harmonic potential of some works having a personal nature, and moreover, original ones. Thus, the canvas suggested by him are somewhat musical, the artist takes on the role of the DJ.

Elegie 2019
Trecerea bruscă în neființă a regretatului profesor Călin Chincea, lasă un gol sufletesc iremediabil în climatul cultural bănățean - o prezență bonomă, ce aducea cu sine un aer aristocrat jovial plin de o anume bunăcuviință erudită, ce învăluia auditoriul printr-o căldură insolită de o rarisimă candoare intelectuală.
Ecoul cuvintelor sale reverberează încă în variile spații expoziționale timișorene pe care el în nenumărate rânduri le-a însuflețit, decriptând mesaje ascunse în opera plastică a zeci de artisti. Prezența sa evanescentă plutește empatic, sideral, în constelația lăuntrică a iubitorilor de frumos ce resimt resemnați o mare pierdere - pe de o parte prin dispariția unui valoros interlocutor în dialog, cât și a unui tot mai rar colecționar de artă contemporană, centrat cu predilecție pe autori din arealul plastic al Vestului României.
Astfel, evenimentul expozițional găzduit în prestanta galerie Helios, aduce pe simeză un valoros fragment omagial din vasta colecție pe care profesorul și criticul Călin Chincea cu ardoare și aleasă acribie a construit-o de-a lungul unei vieți, restituind publicului un crâmpei identitar atât de necesar, o veritabilă aducere aminte din lumea umbrelor, ce sedimentează tacit filonul ancestral al memoriei colective.

The artist Duska, born in the former Yugoslavia, lives and creates in the capital of the arts, Paris. She participated in many international exhibitions in USA, Japan, China, Spain, Serbia, France. Her painting evokes the solitary atmosphere of the cosmic ocean, inviting the viewer to an astral contemplative excursion of a tremendous cosmogonic density. It has associated interference with Solaris, directed by the famous director Andrei Tarkovsky, or with Polish artist Zdzisław Beksiński's painting, which evokes the ancestral metaphysical solitude.

Expoziția #somewhere_in_time aduce în atenția publicului serii de lucrări inspirate de anumite momente din călătoriile celor doi artiști timișoreni. Este o continuare a unor expoziții precum #obiect - Moldovan Smaranda și The traveller’s Dream semnată de Costin Brăteanu. Realizarea lucrărilor este influențată de călătoriile în simpozioanele de creatie artistică si taberele din anul 2018 în tări precum : Turcia, Finlanda, Italia, la Smaranda Moldovan sau, în cazul lui Costin Brateanu Franța, Germania, Polonia, Bielorusia, Serbia si Romania, aducând elemente noi din aceste noi culturi și insemnarile facute la fața locului. Lucrările, de dimensiuni mici, au caracter de martor, de document, de redare și uneori, de evocare a locului gazdă.
Costin Brăteanu, absolvent al Facultății de Arte Plastice si Design din Timișoara promoția 2001, este în prezent curator al taberelor de creație de la Gîrnic (15 ediții), Stefan Jager Art Symposium (6 ediții) și a Transylvania Art Camp (2 ediții) și experimentează pe suporturi de mici dimensiuni, în diferite tehnici mixte, combinând acrilicele, guașa, tehnica colajului și monotipia urmărind abstractizarea unor elemente de peisaj într-o manieră unică prin introducerea de motive tradiționale romănești.
Moldovan Smaranda-Sabina, în prezent își continuă studiile în cadrul Școlii Doctorale, la Facultatea de Arte și Design a Universității de Vest din Timișoara. Este preocupată de noile canale de comunicare non verbală dezvoltate prin deținerea de obiecte, care indică un anumit status social. Consideră că,o urmare la consumismul zilelor noastre este uniformizarea, aceasta fiind un punct de pornire, în elaborarea câmpurilor de culori, a monocromiilor, nu doar în tehnica picturii în ulei, dar și în instalații, asamblaje sau fotografie.
Ambii artiști își consideră lucrările precum file de jurnal în demersul artistic propus, lăsând loc interpretării imaginii și a relației timp-spațiu.

THE TRAVELLER'S DREAM
The Poetics of Light
Costin Brăteanu is offering the audience, through art work, a special kind of the painting discourse, technique, poetics. He covers through color compositions that are structured in a light way, by using the scholarly chosen counterpoint between space and matter, between solid and dissolute.
The thematic series are oscillating between full and empty, opening an ample creative territory situated in the proximity of the landscape symbolism. Fields overwhelmed by the unperceivable presence of the painting fluid, on the search for the sublime balance between heaven and earth, crepuscular horizons, light garlands which slightly hit the vegetal meat, coagulating in the polychrome horse ride, filled with forgotten symbols, the shadows of the suave becoming, the circular arc up in the sky during the storm evoke a bold, trepidating and also unrepeatable aerated conceptual construct. Costin has proved to be through each cycle of the painting artwork to be the absolute creator of the personal credo, escaping daringly into the suave trance of the comtemplative metaphysics. His artwork, through each painting, thus becomes a portal window towards the magnificent territories of the imaginary, an infinite heavenly kaleidoscope, situated beyond the horizon, beyond the sky, in the elysean fields, where the color becomes light.
A mature artist, a painter whose technique is slightly touching, in addition to the landscape, the syncretic compositions, he modulates a vast palimpsest which adds to the collage the relief paste technique, the combinatorics of the frottage, fully making use of the heritage of the tradition of Romanian embroidery, going through in appropiate dosage the archetypal geometry of the embroidered traditional shirt, sheepskin coat, he is building an art discourse in which the compositions are articulating in a compact manner, and the visionary architecture is making room for floating through an engrossing catharhic abandonment. Costin Brăteanu has become through his presence as an artist a remarkable voice in the city on Bega who is gathering to himself through his own creative reverberation visionary ease, inviting for the festive excursus on the wings of the dream burg.
Thus behold us around an epiphenomenon which still has to say a lot in the national and international millieu, inciting, provoking and enthusiastic, polarizes around it countless exhibitions, colloquiums, series of international camps which fully demonstrate vigorousness, enthusiasm and professionalism.
