Chisinau in the drawings of fine artists Leonid Grigorasenco, Emil Childescu and Ion Serbinov. Historical aspects

Summary/Abstract: The album of drawings of an artist can be compared with a diary where personal thoughts and observations are fixed in a visual language. The artist transfigures the empirical experience on paper creating a subjective space and his own artistic universe. In order to perceive this imaginary space in a more pronounced way, it is important to relate it to the physical space where the artist lives and works. The author has chosen three artists, Leonid Grigorasenco, Emil Childescu and Ion Serbinov for research, who belong to different generations, but have a classical, figurative vision and reflected, in their drawings, on the genius loci of the city Chisinau. In his drawings, L. Grigorasenco fixes architectural objects and details, picturesque and visible places of Chisinau of the 1960s. He builds the shape with the colored pencil, whose hatches stretch with transparent color shades that merge or overlap on the color of the paper. Unlike L. Grigorasenco, E. Childescu seems to be in a hurry and does not stop to analyze, so contemplatively, the form or the texture. He creates a graphic compositional structure and this structure is already subordinated to the state and atmosphere of the drawing. Ion Serbinov defines the finality of his works intuitively; it is reached when the artist decides that he expressed the state of nature concerned to the personal impression and leaves space for the viewer’s interpretations. This artistic method gives the seemingly unfinished works an aspect of lightness, representing an instant dialogue with Chisinau’s ambiance.
