About this Event
In Transmission, Sebastian Hosu invites viewers into a charged visual space where figure and landscape merge in sweeping gestures of color, memory, and motion. Rooted in painting, Hosu’s practice explores the human condition as a relationship between being, movement, and space, particularly the ambiguous green landscapes that oscillate between the natural and the artificial.
Across large-scale canvases, Hosu renders fragmented human forms not as broken, but as beings in flux, bodies that dissolve into the very environments they inhabit. His brushwork carries a visceral energy, guiding the eye through blurred boundaries where the figure is neither foreground nor background, but an extension of the space itself. These works destabilize traditional hierarchies between subject and setting, instead evoking a sensory realm in which one nurtures and defines the other. The psychological weight of scale plays a central role. Hosu’s commitment to monumental formats transforms his physical interaction with the canvas into an act of embodiment. Each mark becomes a record of movement, presence, and gesture. The result is a palpable tension between figuration and abstraction, stillness and motion, intimacy and distance.
At the core of Transmission lies an inquiry into our need for connection, with nature, with each other, and with ourselves. In these vibrant and immersive compositions, memory and sensation converge to suggest a primordial state, one before the rupture of nature and culture, where human presence and landscape pulse in unison.
