Exploiting art, politics and visual philosophies and concerned equally with the sacred as well as with the profane, the paintings are presented as diptychs, as to force the 2 sides to negotiate their meaning together and most likely, to construct a lyrical funny view of a place gone ‘slightly’ wrong, a land of ultimate beauty and endless cruel contradictions... Our Land! All paintings are acrylic/mixed media on paper 2007-10. 38 x 50 inches (96.5 x 127 cm) each. For more info please contact: horiaboboia@gmail.com www.horiaboboia.com Horia Boboia was born in Romania. He came to the United States as a political refugee.
