The Chen Art Gallery at Central Connecticut State University, New Britain, CT, is proud to present the upcoming exhibition “5ive Perspectives.”

The show will run from Jan. 23 to Feb. 21, 2025. The Romanian Artist Connection (RoArtConn) group includes artists: Ioana Barac, Ileana Dumitriu, Luiza Budea, Liviu Cupceancu, Flavius Lucacel, Iulian Budea, and Adrian Panaitisor.

This exhibition is guest-curated by artist Adrian Panaitisor, a former “Understanding Dimensions in Art” instructor at Manchester Community College, Manchester, CT. The “Five Perspectives” show represents the first comprehensive public exhibition of the Romanian-born artists of the RoArtConn group.

The RoArtConn members’ exhibition openly displays a multitude of visual art forms like painting, illustration, sculpture, conceptual art, installation, and drawing. The work of these professional artists, with decades of experience and varying artistic philosophies, are rooted in the success of the famous Romanian art school – which gave the world artists like Constantin Brancusi and Adrian Ghenie, among many others.

The public is encouraged to attend an opening reception on Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. There will be a brief talk by the curator and a couple of participating artists at 4:30 PM. Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served.

Regular Gallery hours are Monday from noon to 4 p.m. and Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (except university holidays and closures).
