Flights in Mirror: Group Exhibition, Painting and Metal Sculpture – 14 November 2019- 7 February 2020, Intercontinental Hotel Bucharest- Intermezzo Lobby Bar
Metal sculptor Darius Hulea, very active on the Romanian Art market in the last 2 years
InterContinental Bucharest and Renaissance Art Gallery continue the series of inspirational art exhibitions in the Intermezzo Lobby Lounge, to support artists living and creating in Romania.
We are pleased to present you to “Flights in mirror”, an art exhibition featuring the works of 2 Romanian artists, one painter, Victor Andrei Ionescu and one metal sculptor, Darius Hulea, reunited in order to approach the subject of FLIGHT.
Humans have been passionate about the flight since the antiquity and you can find the symbol of FLIGHT presented as MAGICAL BIRDS or WINGS or WINGED NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE CHARACTERS in most countries in their fairy tales, folk tales or ancient believes/ traditions. Both the paintings of Victor and the sculptures of Darius, talk about the same thing: about desire of humans to raise, to develop, to fly physically but also spiritually.
Special guests on opening night were: Romanian actor part of the National Theater Bucharest cast, Ioan Andrei Ionescu , who interpreted the role of Constantin Brancusi in the movie “ Brancusi from Eternity” nominated for BAFTA in UK and the Romanian actor at TNB Lari Giorgescu, who recited a text from Gigi Caciuleanu inspired by Victor Andrei Ionescu painting “Self Portrait”, which was the inspiration of the exhibition for Oana Visoiu- curator of Flights in Mirror and owner of Renaissance Art Gallery.
Solo guitar performance of Kirk McDavitt- English professor- American from Detroit, novel writer, song writer and singer & founder of “Mo Chits” band. Kirk songs borrow elements from American Folk, blues and rock ‘n’ roll.

Mâinile copiilor, care se joacă creeând pasari in zbor pe pereți noapte înainte de culcare sunt semne ale luminii, ale bucuriei. Ele reprezinta de asemenea și mâinile Creatorului. În sculptura lui Darius Hulea, prin mâinile supradimensionate care se împletesc ludic, formând, în pofida materialului greu din care sunt executate, o structură fragilă, aeriană la nivel vizual, poți să intuiești pentru o clipă natura sufletului, materia lui. /
The hands the children that play creating flaying birds on the walls before going to bed are the symbols of light, of the joy. They also represent the hands of the Creator. In Darius Hulea's sculpture, through the oversized hands that playfully intertwine, forming, despite the heavy material from which they are executed, a fragile, aerial structure at visual level, you can sense for a moment the nature of the soul, its matter.

Mâinile copiilor care se joacă s-au transforamt datorita luminii in aripi care vorbesc despre desprinderea de pământ, despre înălțare, despre personajele înaripate din mitologie, basme și povești, despre visele copilariei pe care, ca adulti, unii reusim sa le transpunem in realitate./
The hands of the playful children transformed with the help of light in wings that talk about the detachment of the earth, about the elevation, about the winged characters from mythology, stories and fairy tales, about the dreams of childhood that, as adults, some manage to translate into reality.
