Horatiu Mălăele

Feminine - creation and temptation

Nude exhibition

"A nude gathers light in its center, like a small sun" Nicolae Tonitza

The artist - the show, who handles the pencil, the brush and the words with the same ease and expressiveness, something recognized by art critics and lovers of beauty, Horaţiu Mălăele is one of the most important Romanian actors and directors.  Both the actor, and the director, and the poet, and the graphic artist believe that art is the deepest expression of human creativity, an indefinable mixture of curiosity, ineffable, love, which transcends the real, rises in the abstract and approaches God.  "Where is beauty, there is God," said the ancient Greeks, because love and beauty belong to the divinity!

Feminine - creation and temptation, exhibition signed by Horaţiu Mălăele at the Rotenberg -Uzunov Gallery, between October 29th and November 10th, brings together 18 works, dedicated to the eternal fascination of the female nude.  Subject of artistic contemplation, since ancient times, the female body encloses in its semantics countless symbols and mysteries.  From the ancient Greeks, who had a cult for physical beauty until the Renaissance, when the nude is brought back to the center of the creative vision of great painters and sculptors, the feminine beauty did not cease to arouse, under the brush, pencil or chisel of masters, the most expressive  and emotional artistic representations.

Under the distinct artistic sign of a name already entrusted to art, in its different forms of manifestation, the same and yet always different, Horaţiu Mălăele perceives the female nude in a personal representation, result of an irrepressible need to communicate, to give to those around , beauty, creativity and symbol.  Because when he is not playing, Horatiu thinks of a drawing page, and when he has finished a caricature he prepares to enter a new role or imaginarily draws the lines of a new show.  In the theater or in the movies!  It is the prerogative of the great creators, of history and art!

He had over 40 personal exhibitions, both in the country and abroad, Paris, Munich, Buenos Aires, Toronto and New York, are just some of the most famous cities in the world that hosted the drawings and caricatures of Horatiu Mălăele.  His friends, actors, other visual artists and more, are the main subject of Horațiu Mălăele's works.  From single-line portraits to carefully constructed nudes, from watercolors to dense abstract painting, his works essentially hide a semantics of symbols.

Refined and of an almost soft simplicity, passionate or innocent in their eroticism, casual or shy, the works present in the exhibition capture the beauty of the female nude, beyond erotic and intangible.  Above all, however, remains the same eternal charm, inexhaustible and perpetually fascinating, of feminine beauty.

The aspects that concern him are infinite, Horaţiu Malaele includes them in an overview, translating them into forms that are as simple as possible, clear, comprehensive, synthetic.  In art, form is never perfect in itself, but in what it manages to express!

About this great artist, Radu Beligan confessed: "Everything that Horaţiu Mălăele does, when he is not simply exceptional, is really brilliant!"

The exhibition is organized by Rotenberg Gallery - Uzunov, one of the most important contemporary art galleries in Bucharest and the Cultural Association for the Support of Fine Arts and can be visited from Monday to Friday, between 14.30 -19.30, Saturday-Sunday: 14.00 - 20.00  , in compliance with the safety regulations in force, in order to prevent contamination with the new SARS-COV-2 coronavirus.
