ADRIAN GHENIE

ADRIAN GHEINE, 1977, Baia Mare, Rumania.  Adrian Ghenie’s paintings are never furtive documentations of reality but complex constructions that require lengthy decodification on the part of the observer. Catalogues, history books, stills from films or images from archives and databases on the internet are the various sources from which the artist draws his models, which are subsequently assembled and juxtaposed.
