A new exhibition of works by Marius Strugariu, who we featured on the site some time ago, opens on 14th March 2015 (8pm) at B32 Artspace, Bourgognestraat 32, 6221 BZ Maastricht, The Netherlands.

The exhibition is called AB ORIGINE. You can find out more information here. The exhibition runs from 14th March to 29th March and is open Thursdays and Fridays 1pm – 6pm and Saturdays and Sundays 2pm – 8pm.

“AB ORIGINE is a time/space introspection, where archaic symbols define contemporary issues. The observer is invited to reflect upon his Absolute Self, in the midst of a field of collective memories coming from the roots of existence.

In what the artist calls Mirrors, embodied in an installation of paintings, he depicts the pure Potential of our inner Self through reflections over ones self perceptions.

Its all about harmonic frequencies that fuse the mental states together with the Essence of the source of knowledge and information.

The artist invites us to step further into understanding the mechanisms of constraint and comprehend a field of absolute unconditional energy.”
