The Century of Dolphins CP

Gheorghe Virtosu

Painted in 2016, the present work is the crowning embodiment of Virtosu’s Century paintings, the highly lauded series of two works that, in recent years, have risen to acclaim as the creative pinnacle of his celebrated oeuvre. 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.
