‘… Bars, strings and the kind of lumps of lead which are attached to plumb lines, or used for closing doors are used as the basic elements of compositional counterpoint with the cool efficiency of a latter-day Poussin…’

1969-70 directs the underground B-film “Trouble in Molopolis’.

“The paintings of the young Australian Philippe Mora… create the opposite atmosphere to Hockney’s. They suggest networks of Fear, Threat and Violence. Yet it is not possible to compare them, because Mora uses an apparently dry and cool, economical graphic style rather than the florid impressionism one might expect… Where Hockney avoids any kind of moral judgement, Mora’s paitnings are thoroughly moralistic… He has an effective way of re-interpreting borrowed imagery… with his thin bleak line and his grasp of grotesque imagery. Mora does create a strong atmosphere”. Guy Brett – Art Critic – the Times 10th November, 1970.

Paul Neagu
Horia Bernea

The Sigi Krauss Gallery London Jan 70
In collaboration with The Richard Demarco Gallery

Horia Berna Born Bucharest 14 September 1938
studied architecture, physics and then painting

I need an entirely new media, a new unprejudiced language. I think that it is more important to consider the state of mind required to create an object and the means to achieve it than to make the completed object. Art involves the solution of a spiritual problem, personal to the artist, it has little to do with the perfecting of a craft. Horia Bernea, Edinburgh, 1970

Paul Neagu 1938 born Bucharest, Rumania. 1955 studied technical drawing. 1957-59 worked as a draughtsman and topographer. 1959-64 studied Bucharest Institute of Fine Art – painting section.

These Objects are somewhat difficult to explain in an intellectual manner. You would need to touch them to understand them. They are abstract ideas translated into concrete forms. Outside of the Demarco Gallery is a public square called Melville Crescent. In this it was planned to build an enormous balloon-shaped piece of bread composed of one hundred and fifty slices, made out of wood and canvas. If this project had been built, it would have seemed an ostentatious thing. To many it was like a giant-sized grenade in the centre of the city, ready to explode from any of its one hundred and fifty stomachs. The symbol of this bread has remained as a ‘monstrous’ project. It was described as such by one of the Town Councillors of the city.
