Fragmenta Deorum I
by Alexandru Crisan

FRAGMENTA DEORUM proposes a contemporary archaeology of the mythic body. In this series, the architect & fine-art photographer Alexandru Crișan reconstructs antiquity through a method of fragmentation: classical sculpture is treated not as heritage to be preserved intact, but as a malleable semiotic archive — broken, repeated, re-aligned, and dreamt into new structures. The works operate in a space where image-recognition becomes uncertain. Figures appear as afterimages, then disperse into pattern; narrative emerges, then collapses into surface. This controlled instability is central to the series: the images are designed to provoke pareidolia and to invite the viewer into the role of interpreter.

Artist Bio/CV

Alexandru Crișan (b. Bucharest, Romania 1978) is a visual artist interested in the existential complementarity of objective and nonobjective forms of expression. To resolve the former, he is an architect. As far as the latter is to be unpacked, his “counter-professional” career in photography began in 2008; his paintings stand, for almost three decades, as the most intimate, borderline atavistic, acts of divulgence. Assuming that taxonomy is of any consequence, he is partial to fine-art photography and Abstract Expressionism. The eclectic nature of his projects is, therefore, a given. His photography is a direct result of compulsive visual disquisitions on impromptu portraiture, architectural equivocations, parametric manipulations, “hybrid storytelling” and evocative conservationism. Crișan’s works have been presented in over 50 international exhibitions, have been published in over 100 peer-reviewed magazines, have received over 500 international awards and nominations, and are part of several privately owned collections and art galleries.
