Ana Bănică manages to surprise us every time, to take us out of our comfort zone, although the topics she usually tackles are as comfortable as possible. Like love, for example. If you feel connected to the topic, it means that you will resonate, in the new exhibition, to the “7 Circles of Love” that dress you up like a “Cocoon” or have a “Conversation” about “Casnic Love” or “Cosmic Love”, you will remember when you said “YES” or “I can’t without you”, when you saw the relationship as a “Roof” or as an open book. The exhibition at ARCUB is an exhibition about Love. But not only. Joy, trepidation, difficulties, agony, the aftermath are fragments of states and emotions that define who we are. Explored through the artist’s now well-known style, the subject suddenly becomes an extremely realistic definition, revealed through a series of drawings built on metaphor. Ana Bănică takes each story in turn and shapes it to her own point of view. Does it match yours?
