Radu Oreian (b. 1984, Târnăveni, Romania) lives and works in France. His practice focuses on the classical mediums of drawing and painting, exploring how history, ancient myths, and visual archives shape our understanding of humanity. His works construct dense, meditative visual imprints, existing in a pulsating state between tension and relaxation. He is represented by 1969 Gallery, Eduardo Secci Gallery, and Gallery Nosco.

The opening will take place in the presence of the artist and the curator.

The exhibition will be open to the public from January 23 to March 21, 2026, Thursday to Saturday, between 12:00 PM and 6:00 PM.

The exhibition is supported through a strategic partnership with Banca Transilvania, with Catena as Exhibition Partner and ISHO as Partner. The project is developed in partnership with the Institut français de Timișoara, Jecza Gallery, 1969 Gallery, and SECCI Gallery. Media partners: Revista Arta, Radio România Cultural, Empower Artists, RFI România, Zeppelin, and Igloo.
