NISTOR COITA
Retrospective
10 November 2016 – 26 March 2017
Curator: Ruxandra Demetrescu
This retrospective showcases mainly the large series made after year 2000, from St. George and the Exercises in cohabitation, to the Mythological Studies, Passages and Cosmographies. The exhibition emphasizes the virtues of drawing, as Nistor Coita (1943-2013) defined himself as a graphic artist, and not a painter, cultivating drawing as an art form that has brought him nearer to the virtues of writing, in its original meaning of pictogram, and to the late modernity of Lettrism.
