1993-, Cluj-Napoca, Romania
The artist Sergiu Laslo always attempts an original exercise of introspection: a gallery of bizarre figures, with solitary protagonists, most of them caught in unusual and strange positions, with their faces half covered or even completely absent. His works try to illustrate the physical and mental states that humanity goes through. On closer inspection, there seems to be a kind of symbiotic relationship between the suspended gestures of the characters and the dominant play of nuances he works with. Developing as an artist in an environment that needs no introduction when it comes to the long-term use of gray in neo-figurative, Laslo intelligently manages to alternate light shades and subtle chromatic hints. In almost every work, you can see chromatic iridescences bursting from the edges, as if suddenly, the viewer would begin to see better, providing life and color beyond the snapshots in which these characters are depicted.
