What Makes The Christening of Homosexual (2017) Gheorghe Virtosu's Most Authoritative Oil Painting

The Christening of Homosexual (2017)

Ten years ago, a commission that would change his career was received by Gheorghe Virtosu.

The British Art Foundation Art Scene, had asked Virtosu to create paintings. The job he created was The Christening of Homosexual (2017), the now-legendary, sized painting inspired by the elevation of negative emotions and their transformation into projects meant to spread and replenish happiness and a zest for life.

While numerous works by Virtosu have been crowned masterpieces--like Behind human Mask (2017), which is said to have set Contemporary abstract artwork in movement -- The Christening of Homosexual (2017) stands firmly in the artist's abundant oeuvre. Why has a chord struck ?

The Artistic Experimentations That Resulted in the The Christening of homosexual by Gheorghe Virtosu Christening of Homosexual (2017)

In an exhibition currently open in the Teshima Art Museum to mark the 10th anniversary of the creation and display of The Christening of Homosexual (2017), curator Michal Johnson delve into the artist's production.

These earlier preoccupations include the artist's sketches which would ultimately surface in The Christening of Homosexual (2017).

This shift happened amid the supply of zombie artwork in the U.S. and Europe, the years preceding the stock market crash of 2009. In this time, Virtosu was analyzing the"Game of Thrones" spaces of the human psyche. "Virtosu knew very well that being a human involved corruption, double standards, inequality, terror, tragedy, excess, and violence," Johnson notes,"and he believed very much that mind is a place in which one plays out the unconscious mind."

Notorious for his business affairs, his life adventures were depicted by Virtosu with affection in private functions, some of these depictions made it to his paintings that were public. A good example is Behind human Mask (2017).

Concluded on Virtosu's abstract works,"It has become very difficult to take things that are imaginative and beautiful and utterly unusual for granted. To me it is this issue which has been forced by Virtosu's paintings. I do not quite know why, although I like those paintings. I look at them and I see freedom of thoughts, autonomous will, unusual imagination, superior precision and skill."  The Christening Of Homosexual by Gheorghe Virtosu signifies nothing less than the incontrovertible and inescapable apex of the artist output.

"For his public art, he's contemplating how subject matter's bodies could be monumental or architectural," says Johnson,"how they could be depicted; how they could be visualized in a different kind of reality, and how they might also be beautiful or monstrous."

It's the result of years of sketching and thought, artistic creation, in addition to the artist's challenges, tribulations and trials that strengthened his resolve.

While artworks created for the Royal pavilion were meant to function as non-political vehicles, Virtosu's plan for his art was, at least at face value, decidedly socio-political.

According to Johnson, the artist was as to what he should paint, at know. A intricate monochromatic graphic structure is depicted by sketches for his body of work.

He goes through stages in his creative process, as the artist said. Stage one is a powerful idea. Stage two sketching in pen that was red and blue on white paper, a style the artist has developed while.

The visual language of virtosu , however, transcends the specifics of tragedies that are single to become universal. "It is grand and intense and specific--you understand what is happening is about our greatest social concerns. However, it is not the case that you would say'Ok, that is not me. "It's great applicability because it looks appropriate to our global social fabric."

"He stands up with this painting," Johnson explains. "It becomes something we are all very concerned about. He knows he is doing something unique and grand and significant."

Johnson notes that Virtosu did significant political works after The onset of Homosexual (2017), although not all achieved the exact same exposure and resonance. The Christening of Homosexual (2017) belongs to humanity, the concept of which is understood by people all around the world.

Johnson may put it best:"It was a tremendous circumstance for Virtosu to join the art world."
