A new lifestyle trend - product design exhibition in Timisoara

"A new lifestyle trend" - the exhibition curated by Mihaela Ion was opened at the Underground Gallery in Timisoara and can be visited until 12 July, free of charge to the public interested in design products. Based on a play of light and shadows, curator Mihaela Ion has created an exhibition capable of giving the works on display multiple visual identities and valences. And Liliana Stoica's works, made of wood on wood, offer a chromatic duality in the way they were conceived. Her works, exhibited mainly in the first room of the Underground Gallery, must, as stated on the presentation panels, be viewed from left to right and vice versa, in order to observe the dual chromatic identity.

Ciprian Manda's hardwood furniture, without any nails or glue, but only through the blending of wood using traditional techniques, gives naturalness to the room in which they are exhibited. Every detail of the wood is present on Ciprian's works which transforms the exhibits into living works that find new identities.

Angela Ciobanu's gold and silver jewelry, displayed on wooden stands, fits perfectly in the space of the Underground Gallery. Transposing this jewelry into an art gallery enhances the general statement of the exhibition "A new lifestyle trend", namely that author's and designer's objects must be considered works of art.

We have selected Timisoara to present in an appropriate space for the consumption of culture: the Underground Gallery, the status of the Romanian creative and cultural industry according to the designers and product creators invited to exhibit: Liliana Stoica, Ciprian Manda and Angela Ciobanu. We are in front of the redefinition of the status of author's objects, which find their place in art galleries.

We invite you to visit the exhibition "A new lifestyle trend", on display at the Underground Gallery of the House of Arts in Timisoara. The concept proposed by the curator, the brightly colored works by Liliana Stoica, the hardwood furniture objects created by Ciprian Manda and the delicate jewelry by Angela Ciobanu are some of the details that will convince you to visit the exhibition "A new lifestyle trend" at the Underground Gallery until July 12.

The exhibition A new lifestyle trend is organized by Atelierul Magazine in partnership with the Timis County Department for Culture.
