Gheorghe Lisița mounted a new exhibition entitled “Retrospective look – 39”. The event is staged on the occasion of the inauguration of the painter’s workshop located at 17/1 Socoleni St. The workshop houses tens of paintings made during the college years, such as portraits on cardboard, works dating from the university period, large paintings and creations of the present time, including paintings that are not yet ready, IPN reports.
According to Gheorghe Lisița, the exhibition shows his evolution and formation as an artist. He had long dreamt of a large workshop where he could draw large paintings, especially war scenes that necessitate space and special light. “It is very important for an artist to experience a change at a certain moment in life, which would make this resort to reflections with a more profound analysis. I think my change will derive from this workshop. I would like all the artists in Moldova to have such a spacious and bright workshop,” the painter stated for IPN.
The inauguration of the workshop is an invitation to the permanent exhibition that will renew its collection of paintings for visitors and for art collectors. Lisița said he is fond of portraits, human faces. “I’m a realist. I live the moment, but I drive my inspiration from books. I like Velazquez, Grigorescu. I’m also fond of abstract – Pollock is extraordinary. In Moldova, particular influence on me was exerted by Dumitru Peichev, Andrei Mudrea, Anatol Ghimpu. I get inspired from each exhibition I visit. We have a lot of good, expressive and talented plastic artists,” he stated.
Emeritus Person of the Republic of Moldova Eleonora Brigalda in the inauguration said she remembers the tenacity and accuracy of Gheorghe Lisița when he studied at the university. “I was astounded by his discipline. To make his diploma work, he chose to live in monasteries, to talk to church officials, to persuade them to make their portraits, not their exterior, but rather the inner expressiveness. In his works, Gheorghe Lisița combinew naturalist academic professionalism with the tendencies of modern art,” stated plastic artist and literary critic Eleonara Brigalda.
