Anca Poterasu Gallery is excited to invite you to the upcoming duo show “Present is a foreign country”, curated by Daria Corlatan, featuring works by Dragoș Bădiță and Alex Bodea. The exhibition explores the ambiguity of temporality in each artwork, exploring the concept of anachronism. Through their pieces, both artists evoke a palpable sense of navigating a journey through uncertainty.
Dragoș Bădiță (b. 1987) lives and works in Bucharest, Romania. He graduated from the University of Arts and Design in Cluj-Napoca, specialising in painting. Dragoș Bădiță chooses the subjects of his oil and ink paintings and drawings from deeply personal surroundings, transforming the artworks into frames-of-consciousness, glimpses of the human psyche and its connection to others. His figurative paintings reflect on Flemish and Danish painterly influences, striking a contemporary contrast with his choice of framing and merge of motifs and fantastic landscapes.
Alex Bodea’s work revolves around storytelling, shaped by her experience as a nomadic Eastern European woman. Her themes reflect her constant movement, addressing migration, queerness and non-patriarchal models. Her work transforms visual observations into dynamic stories, often with a theatrical quality. Bodea often begins her process with a written script based on direct observations, rather than sketches.
