Summary
Robert Muntean, who lives and works in Berlin, rejects the notion that his paintings might be read like stories. To him, the visual aspect of the work is much more important, as are the representations of figures and the feelings that are triggered in observers upon seeing his paintings. In his visually complex works, Muntean deals meticulously with color and creates carefully considered color configurations that offer numerous possibilities for interpretation. In his works, abstracted representations of the human figure appear in various, contrasting stages of abstraction. The course the work will take is not clear at the start of the painting process; the artist generally begins with the execution of one or more figures, which are then further developed. Nevertheless, the images cannot be seen as portraits, but instead as representations of situations, which develop through the actions of the figures in the space. Furthermore, Muntean?s creativity is inspired by pop culture: some of the images' titles are direct musical or literary references to Sonic Youth, Nick Drake, Ken Kesey and William Blake.
