Bogdan Mihai Radu’s ‘Eight Regained Moments’: Exhibition & Painting Workshops for Children

Bogdan Mihai Radu’s show includes, for the first time, the large enthralling painting and floral installation “Yellow Flowers” which is on the short list for the Summer Exhibition organized at the Royal Academy of Arts, as well as seven other works. As an artist, Bogdan always perceived himself bridging his interior world with the reality of the outside; his artwork speaking about the lost moments and the absolute joy of regaining them through art.

Opening: 2 August 2021 at 19.00, in the presence of the artist.  1 Belgrave Square, SW1X8PH, London. Please confirm your attendance here.

Two other events will complement the show: painting workshops for children aged 6-14 years old, dedicated to one of the most vibrant and major theme addressed in painting: nature. Guided by artist Bogdan Mihai Radu, the children will be introduced to basic painting techniques and will have a unique learning experience with acrylic paint on canvas.

At the end of the workshops, children will recreate the floral installation that anchors the majestic painting “Yellow Flowers”.

Dates:
2 August 2021, 11.00-13.00. Eight places available. Free. Materials will be provided. Please register here.
7 August 2021, 11.00-13.00. Eight places available. Free. Materials will be provided. Please register here.

According to the artist, the pandemic has profoundly influenced his work: “The pandemic opened a box of sad memories for me. The loss of loved ones and its repeatable pain is relived with every funeral during the deadly pandemic. This feverish wakefulness of the end grinds me down and puzzles me with its overwhelming power to evoke the past. I have incorporated in my new work recollections from the practices I learned at my agricultural school – picking the sharp, yellow corn, witnessing the end of the grey Communist regime, the mourning and memorials that took place in Transylvanian cemeteries.’’
