In Sadîc’c works, the “manipulative elements” take on the scale of hyperobjects, gradually overshadowing the protagonists, who recede into the background as narrative threads are suspended. Reduced to almost incidental presences in certain compositions that subtly reference the Flemish tradition, the figures absorb these premonitions without fully internalising them. Their relationship to these apparitions remains ambiguous: at times they appear to tolerate them, at others to accept them with resignation, or even to enter into a tacit complicity with them.

Ramon Sadîc (b. 1975 in Constanța, Romania) is a Romanian visual artist known for work that engages directly with social themes and urban experience. Drawing from the immediate social reality, Ramon Sadîc practices the exposure of triggers leading to anxiety and social angst, constantly revolving around the dynamic between the oppressor and the oppressed. His works range from painting, drawing, and objects to large-scale installations, from broader social and political commentaries to synthetic ironies and humorous gestures.

📸: ABEL RAD - Untitled from the Tragedy of Colors series

offset plate and pastel, 54 x 44 cm, 2025

The “Tragedy of Colors” series stems from the idea that each color expresses a certain character. Using pastel colors, the artist creates scenes featuring solitary figures in complex
interiors. The rigorously constructed compositions draw inspiration from the aesthetics of modernist figuration, and the frames of the images accentuate the isolation of these characters.

Beyond their apparent beauty, these spaces reveal states of detachment, disinterest, and inner emptiness, masked by a seductive aesthetic image.

RUXANDRA TUDORAN

Pietà (2026)

oil on linen, 162 x 128 cm

In her powerful new artwork, Pietà, visual artist Ruxandra Tudoran proposes a profound contemporary reinterpretation of the classic motif. Through a striking act of self-representation, the artist simultaneously occupies two polarizing roles: the one who supports and the one who is vulnerable. By embodying both the gesture of protection and that of sacrifice, Ruxandra Tudoran transforms the canvas into an interior landscape of tension and deep empathy.

This dialogue with traditional iconography is not a simple citation. Instead, it is a potent reactivation of visual memory filtered through an intense personal experience.

The artwork beautifully resonates with Aby Warburg’s concept of pathosformel-those ancient gestures and emotional expressions that travel through time, re-emerging across different historical contexts. Rather than treating the Pietà as a rigid, static form, the artist recharges it with an urgent, contemporary affective energy.

In doing so, she masterfully avoids what cultural theorist Mark Fisher described as the mere recycling of the past. This is not an inert repetition of a famous image; it is a raw, emotional, and bodily reactivation that restores the motif's true strength and relevance for the present day.

SULTANA MAITEC

Soare pe albastru

2012, acrylic and gold on canvas, 168 x 150 cm

In the landscape of post-war Romanian art, Sultana Maitec stands out as a singular force. Rising during a time dominated by strict socialist realism, she chose a path of radical departure, turning instead toward non-figurative painting and making gold leaf her signature, defining medium.

For Sultana Maitec, gold was never about luxury. Paradoxically, during Romania's darkest communist decades (ironically called the "Golden Era"), she resorted to gold as a form of symbolic and aesthetic resistance.

It allowed her to escape official propaganda and create a timeless, cosmic visual language.

Her masterpiece "Soare pe albastru" perfectly embodies this lifelong conceptual journey-a striking, hypnotic contrast between the deep, unyielding blue and the raw, cosmogonic power of the golden sun.

Experience it at our exhibition “Alchimie” - Villa Catena, Str. Radu Calomfirescu 15

LILIANA BASARAB

People of Beijing - Chinese men resting

2025, porcelain, glazes, pigments, 19 x 22 x 2 cm

Liliana Basarab’s “People of Beijing - Chinese men resting” isolates those fugitive expressions and reflex-gestures of daily life, sealing them in brightly glazed ceramic stability. Her practice derives from what we "should" see toward the subsidiar, exploring minor histories and overlooked social spaces.

A minor history captured on the Beijing-Bucharest-Paris axis, transforming an everyday gesture into a shared reflection of modern life.

Step closer, lean in, and find yourself in the subtle and gentle complicity of these familiar strangers.

On view at Sandwich Neurohope until 26.06.2026.
