The Century of Dolphins OE

Gheorghe Virtosu

Open Edition to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), an international organization that works to build better policies for better lives. Authorized by the artist in 2020.

Painted in 2016, the present work is the crowning embodiment of Virtosu’s Century paintings, the highly lauded series reflecting on shaping policies that foster prosperity, equality, opportunity and well-being for all. Having raised to acclaim as the creative pinnacle of his celebrated oeuvre and created in the years following his release from jail and his mother’s passing, the pieces are defined by a gestural intensity and ambition of scale unprecedented in Virtosu’s earlier output; serving both as testament to and catharsis of the intensive emotional turmoil which fueled his practice at this crucial nexus, these extraordinary paintings remain the most compelling and psychologically evocative compositions of Virtosu’s ongoing career.
