Art world swoons over Romania's homeless genius

Art , Musings Add comments

Or so the title of the Guardian article goes. Everyone like's a feel good story don't they? And this is no different - the story of a man living in the rubbish room of a block of flats, who existed on the margins of society where he kept to himself. There he would carefully create collages of a past life before being discovered and swiftly catapulted into stardom and the heights of the art world.

 

But I don't think anyone can deny the thought with which Ion Barladeanu has put together his collages. Images filled with a humour which overlays the underlying disturbance of the horror's of Ceausescu's regime. Read the Guardian article for the full story or the gallery of images.
