NANOART at Kimura Gallery

Cris Orfescu's NanoArt work was selected for the "Softcopy" exhibition at Kimura Gallery, University of Alaska, April 3-17, 2006.

This exhibition includes works of visual artists utilizing a digital description in the creative process, i.e. a digital file intended to be printed, or a digital file as a plan for a work of Art, or instructions for a work of Art. This exhibition is a collaboration between Artists who submit digital files, and the UAA Department of Art, which selected and realized the data, and designed the gallery exhibition.

Here is a fragment from "Technology enables cutting-edge curating for ‘Softcopy’" article by Meaghan Howard, in April 11, 2006 issue of The Northern Light:

Cristian Orfescu, whose medium is scanning electron microscope images, calls his artform “NanoArt.” Softcopy exhibits two of his works, both brilliant, jewel-colored pieces printed on 8 1/2’’ by 11’’ paper. They feature vivid tone-on-tone color schemes that vibrate with life. Orfescu pointed out the unique quality of his images compared to other photography — his do not require light.

“Since there is no light involved in the image creation,” Orfescu said, “NanoArt is different than photography where the images are generated by particles of light (photons). The scanning electron microscope images are generated by electrons which penetrate deeper in the structure, creating images with more depth, more natural 3-D look than the photographic images.”

NANOART Recognition

California artist Cris Orfescu will exhibit his NANOART work at the 5th International Biennale of Contemporary Art, in December 2005, in Florence, Italy.

The Florence Biennale is world's most comprehensive exhibition of contemporary art. This exhibition is defined as a wonderful Biennale, with 890 artists from 72 nations participating despite their differences of language and faith, and found a common language in art to communicate their cultural values illustrating Kofi Annan's statement: "Artists have a special role to play in the global struggle for peace. At their best, artists speak not only to people; they speak for them. Art is a weapon against ignorance and hatred and an agent of public awareness… Art opens new doors for learning, understanding, and peace among people and nations." The competition committee estimated the last Biennale’s audience to be around 40,000 attendees. Participation in the Biennale is by nomination only and the artists are selected solely on the basis of the merit of their works, with no prejudices as to style, theme or artistic movement.
