Vladinsky | Moment: A Journey Beyond Material: London

14 - 27 November 2024
 
In a world that pulsates the relentless pursuit of materialism, wealth and self-serving ambition, 'Moment: A Journey Beyond Material' summons the observer to pause, breathe and fully immerse in the profound depths of the present. This visually interactive exhibition emerges as a vibrant testament to the transformative power of the mind, amidst our modern landscape of our constant strive for accumulation.

Inspired by an epiphany experienced during a routine cycling journey, Vladinsky masterfully embodies the elusive essence of the 'now'. Through a dynamic and thought-provoking collection of works that demand contemplation, the exhibition challenges the viewer to momentarily take a break of life's continuous materialistic cycle and to profoundly engage with the beauty and richness of the present moment.

Each artwork initiates a portal to a heightened level of consciousness as a call to awaken those engulfed by everyday pursuits. Fluctuating from vivid paintings that integrate figurative and abstract disciplines, Vladinsky invites the observer to submerge into the experience of being truly present, echoing the philosophy that life, in its most authentic form, is not merely a series of events but self-aware moments to be embraced and lived to its fullest potential.

'Moment' extends beyond an exhibition, but rather as a movement against the tide of materialism, embodying the belief that the richest experiences come not from the possessions we accumulate but the memories we make. It is a beacon, as well as an escape, for those seeking deeper connection and fulfillment from the present in a fast-paced world blinded by materialism. 
 
 
 

 Vladinsky was born in July, 1988, in the city of Onesti, a city located in the Moldovan area of ​​Romania. From the first years of school he was fascinated by visual arts because of a fine arts teacher. Being the first generation in a country barely escaped from communism, the help received from his parents was modest because the family did not know the true meaning of freedom and it was very difficult to guide him in finding a form of expression. 

 
Somewhere around the age of 7, Vladinsky started sketching cartoon characters because it was very difficult to find books or magazines from where you could find possible posters with cartoon characters specific to childhood. Those moments have deep roots in what would later become the artist. For quite a long time he did not approach any area through which he could express his creativity and followed like the vast majority of young people a normal path, although he felt totally lost. 
 
Near the age of 22, he decided that he would do nothing but become one of the top visual artists internationally. He understood quite quickly that through work and exercise, one can reach the highest level. "If progress means feeding only one part of people and completely forgetting the other side, then I choose to manifest as naturally as possible and reject any form of progress that later leads to failure." Through this statement the artist sends a clear message. The spontaneous way in which he manages to complete the paintings that bear his signature comes only from a very long period of study on the human side and on the natural way in which both the individual and society should function.
