Back to Fantastyfrolia: A Painted Tale With Tints Of Marzipan at IOMO Gallery
About
Statement
Using composition rules specific to the Cartoon Glam movement, in which the
human figure dominates the surface of representation, Ioana Băltan creates, through pictorial
means, a guide to revisiting the memory of childhood.
Press Release
Ioana’s imaginary mapthus follows the reverse logic marking the construction of the formation and education novel –the Bildungsroman – whether literary or visual. If, in the Bildungsroman, the main character discovers the unknown and learns to manage the surrounding reality by developing new skills, while following a linear narrative path with a beginning and an ending, in Ioana Băltan’s series,
he rediscovers the once-known-now-forgotten by being confronted with childhood sequences
subject to the non-logic of emotional memory.

Opening Reception
Fri, Mar 8 from 6:00 – 10:00pm EET
Using composition rules specific to the Cartoon Glam movement, in which the human figure dominates the surface of representation, Ioana Băltan creates, through pictorial means, a guide to revisiting the memory of childhood, in the economy of which she first isolates elements with a symbolic charge – a unicorn, a lollipop, a bunny – then organizes them into visual ecosystems governed by the laws of hyper-feminine aesthetics
