Erban Savu Paintings 20052010

Part of a new generation of Romanian artists, Serban Savu (born 1978) uses painting to express a collective disenchantment with the utopian ideals of the old communist regime and simultaneous skepticism toward the new capitalist order. His subjects exist in bucolic landscapes marred by relics of the superceded regime--the residential buildings and abandoned factories of the Soviet Bloc era.
