In April, the OSCE Mission to Moldova is hosting a double exhibition. The painters and spouses Ruslan and Ala Streleţ, together with the sculptors Veaceslav Zaitsev and Veaceslav Jiglitski invite beauty admirers to meditate on life through works displaying moments from the daily life seen as a drama play, Info-Prim Neo reports.

“Jazz”, “The Kiss”, “Aquarium”, “Playing Room”, “The Harlequins” are several titles from the collection of paintings presented by Ala and Ruslan Streleţ. The young artists want to present the life as an escape from concerns and problems. “We, the artists, see the reality this way. Certainly the reality is harsher, there ever are problems, but we see them through the prism of games, smiles, emotions. The atmosphere of the paintings is related even to the fantastic”, explained the painter Ruslan Streleţ at the opening ceremony of the exhibition. According to him, all the people, most often than not, wear masks they take off only when out of the daily routine.

The same attitude was adopted by Ala Streleţ in her works. According to her, through the non-figurative style she practices, her main streamline is to render emotions, feelings, experiences.

Those 25 works belong to post-traditionalism and expressionism. Ruslan Streleţ says his works are part of post-traditionalism, and Ala Streleţ’s ones can pertain more to the expressionism and non-figurative schools.

The direction of the Brancusi exhibition center and art critic, Tudor Braga, says the plastic discourse of the Streleţ spouses is a common one. In most of their works, they explore the fantastic on different planes. They use mediaeval motives, common for the European culture, especially the folklore, as well as the tools used by the modern art’s language.

Ala and Ruslan Streleţ expose their works in Romania, Ukraine, Polonia, UK, USA and other countries every year. Their works are now in private collections of people from Moldova, Ulraine, USA, Holland, France and Finland.
