Zephir. A survey of his works since 2006, new paintings, and a stained-glass window
"Zephir" is Victor Man's first institutional solo exhibition in Germany. The Romanian painter, recently named Deutsche Bank's "Artist of the Year" 2014, is one of the world's most compelling contemporary artists. Born in Cluj in 1974, he is equally inspired by the ancient and the modern. In his work he concentrates on the development of an autonomous iconography in which frequent literary references intermingle with his own biography. Literature and art history, collective memory and personal experience are the elements woven together by the artist into a non-linear story where distinctions between present and past, fiction, imagination, and reality are abolished. In addition to providing a survey of his works since 2006, Zephir includes a few new paintings, as well as a stained-glass window created especially for this occasion.
