Description

Abstract
Amidst the various forms of modernity and artistic movements, a new direction emerges – one that's deeply internalized and meaningful: the geometric essentialization in the artistic vision of Brâncuși and Barbu, two avatars of Hermes, to whom the hidden truths of the world are fully revealed.
Both modern artists share a common aesthetic vision to artistically express the immutable essence of reality, stripped of its external forms. Brancuși's sculpted lines and Barbu's lyrical geometry both express the same theme, reflecting the silent song of life.
The present work demonstrates the convergence of art by reducing reality to its essence.
