"Art is my big window to understand and accept ! " -
KLOSKA
I cannot imagine how one can possibly see behind this
work how much time and effort it took for me to develop
this unique space that defines me now. I have discovered
angels when I almost got drowned three times the same summer
and
I pray every time at dawn for God to exist. I have discovered
real art in Iasi galleries an in the art albums from the
second-hand book seller on Lapusneanu street. I have started
then sleeping on pillows smelling like linen, with canvas
on the walls and under the bed.
I have never eaten paints, though in the first grades
I drunk the water for the aquarelle. And here I am, young,
continuously wandering and dedicated, sending invitations
to an imaginary park for preserving the soul. Most of the
plastic themes used, the symbols and shapes included in
my work, are taken out from a reality spoiled by time,
and then they are reshaped in a special way in my opinion.
The most important theme is the wall.
Constantly
fascinated, this dynamism of shape opens up in a unique
way, by projecting a sway of mind, a mind performance
with neurological circuits. This is my “magic eye”.I
believe that by uniqueness begins with the very capacity
of inventing universe out of things shattered by time,
things that have changed into ephemerity. There are hours
that I spend staring at the mud, at the wrinkles of the
trees, at the rust of walls damaged by time. It is an exercise
that everybody should make. It means worming the spirit,
getting in touch with the sublime. I am connected to silence
and endless time during the short chat between things.
Sublime. Esoteric. … And the night… that cold,
fascinating light that makes things change their meaning,
driven by an inner tremble that is known from a previous
moment, fluttering through images.
My visual relates wit dream, unconsciousness, delirium,
hallucination, with the change of shape and light, with
the spontaneous, illusion, abnormal and normal.
My name is KLOSKA and I will be you host during your visit
to the park of preserving the soul.

Through the galleries
THE SUMMIT OF THE ANGELS …
Ovidiu Kloska, a technician, does not allow his profession
to come out to light. His presence is perfectly shaped
and he is open to substantial and unconventional
dialogue. He is a painter and a poet in the same time. From another point
of view, the rationalism implied by engineering can be found only when navigating
the internet and signing his e mails with the exciting formula I AM KLOSKA.
On the rest, we are dealing with a free spirit, open towards
the sky of fantasy, where the presence of gladiator angels
reign over lucid insomnia and the turn into unusual paintings.
The exercise and the performance in modern techniques of
advertising design brought him reputation and all this
turned into the promoter of painting. Actually, a poet
disguised as a painter, Ovidiu KLOSKA wants to propose
to modern man another way of imaging, in a way that common
elements of traditional painting cannot find their place
anymore.
He does not reject the classics, but he does not worship
them with endless devotion either. He feels, in everything,
just like a free man. His personal touch on every image
comes from all this and it focuses almost entirely only
on a specific abstract concept. His show in Focsani looked
like the perfection of initiation in angiology, the presence
of the angels and their lives aiming to ineffable, to mentally
estranging from gravity. This is where the idea of the
angel comes from, from a theological and artistic point
of view. He is not interested in pointless endless discussions
about the genre of angels, just like the previous ones,
but only in the population of angels that live in the interval.
The
interval is actually the space between God inside us
and God outside us. Our guardian angel turns into the
dominant element of the painting, in different situations.
Kloska’s gloses on the subject are original and they
lead to insomnia. Mostly that of the spirit called out
from agreed upon conventions to propose another manner
of negotiation with the sacred and the eternal. Animated
spirit by insoluble questions, he goes deep with every
piece on the lands of illusions. He does not give any sentences,
he just invite us for journeys into the volatile zones
of fiction and mistery. Kloska never starts to forget from
where he start and he doesn't brake himself to affirm that
he's sometimes cross by the seductions of the delirium.
He is speaking with angels. In a composition with an aspect
of baroque unplaite of very well articulated luxuriant
lines, he is calling the memory to imagine a possible dialog
with the Guardian Angel. The questions sounds real, the
answers are equivocal. The tension of the image associates
vulnerable armour and cherub diaphans in a spectacle where
the trumpets are sound spelling a possible apocalypse.
The chromatics is forcing itself with precious Rembrandtian
associations but also with loudly grays metallic articulated.
In "the first photo session of a guardian angel" the
heavy armors are becoming possible burden, fragile carcases
where , in fact, the faith is living . Other times, the
spectrum of impenetrable nights presumes grave coloring
association. even funeral in bacovian key while the orgiastic
feast of joining is having the devataiting air of heresy.
The proportion between the dark colors and the cluster
of gold yellow glitters that is inundating the sky of compositions
is bringing to attention the cosmic couple of light and
dark. The gushing fantasy, the nocturnal reverberations
of the poetry, as the painter said, amplifies the sonority
of chromatics and multiplies the dramatic development
of the forms in the graphic space. Not by fortuitous chance, Ovidiu Kloska
is hearing the music of spheres and is seeing angels.
The translation between real and imaginary, between the
form and the gesture desinhibated from the compulsion of
the authority of tradition, is making the painter to reinvent
the space from the perspective of a time animated only
by the wing flapping of angel fall into sin.
Substantial plastic comments on such a theme proves the
configuration of a vision, a implementation of a stylistic.
So, adding ourselves to his tireless introspective
thought, but also to his poetic visionary utterance, I think we are really
dealing with a real true creator. There, we can say, is a spirit witch is watching
over our bourgeois reconciliation with ourselves ...

Critics
from personal exhibition that took place in Braila, Romania,
2006:
Kloska has an important advantage on his side, which,
analyzed from a distant point, would look like his opposite
nature: he is an engineer. So he is enabled to imagine
painting with a certain freedom given by the fact that
there are no prior analysis or any long reading on the
subject. And at that point, at least in the beginning,
you think and you know for sure that you can inexhaustibly
do almost everything. In this very moment a certain censure
intercedes, a certain natural dowry, which I am sure that
Mr. Kloska owns and which keeps him within the decency
bounds. In the same time it makes him bold enough in order
to adopt such theme as the Angel. Presently, The Angel
is the generous theme in art, I can say that there is an
invasion of angels, not only in painting, but also in literature
and a couple of other fields too. It is a big interest
of the modern man, it finds its fulfillment in different
forms and that is a very good sign.
Angels
are messengers to Koska, as he so beautifully states.
It is true, but the way Mr. Kolska is seeing
the angels
is a special one: his angel is gentle. I cannot see
any of his angels like the one that Jacob is trying
to hold
by his cloth, I cannot imagine Rilke bagging for his
forgiveness, because, as we know, his angels can be
vindictive. I can
only see him as the right angel, the one telling us
that we are kind and beautiful and young and so on.
I thing
that the artist is keeping for himself the left angel.
There is a desire that I distinguish, which might be
a good one, that of imagining the angel loosing his
sacred
nature – in the good way of speaking. It is clear
to all of us that his image has its origin in the rigor
and the canon of the religious picture. It is more
like that presence that we like to see next to us,
who guides
our mind and spirit towards that place where angels
truly live. This is his way of doing a good, beautiful
deed,
in a way that suits him, and which he considers reachable
and expandable.

come to Romania I hope to see your paintings in some museum,
or better I will buy some...
I am living in LA at the time, and I want to tell you that I haven't seen
anything like that in any gallery over here.
Just wanted to express my admiration for everything you are doing.
All the best,
Diana

Kloska ,
these are extraordinary works. they have a shimmering illuminative
presence. I would agree with the rest here that you're site needs
work but the good thing is, it is not static and can be changed.
finding the best way to showcase you work can be a daunting task,
and as you see everyone has an opinion. the best rule i have
found is keep it simple and about the work. Your work is brilliant
and does not need special effects .
thanks for showing these! - T Anderson, NY USA |
Excellent idea to make this kind graphics
on metal! In my opinion they're even more expressing than your
paintings. It's connected for sure with using different medium
- then they become a characteristic appearance - but there's
something else in them which is not in paintings... for me the
message is stronger and more interesting...Really great works.
