1. Biography
Tudor Radulescu Fürst (b. 2001, Bucharest, Romania) is a visual artist with a focus on painting. Currently based in Surrey, United Kingdom, he finished his studies at the University of Brighton on the BA Fine Arts course in July 2023. He had previously earned his foundation degree at The Royal Academy Of Art, The Hague, Netherlands and completed his studies at the Fine Art High School "Nicolae Tonitza" in his hometown, Bucharest, Romania.
2. Artist Statement
Tudor Radulescu creates paintings, sculptures, and installations depicting automobiles, jewelry, and luxury objects which fulfill human desire, comfort, or entertainment. Radulescu's artistic practice involves exploring the dynamic between the subject and the viewer. He starts with mundane and overlooked images to challenge the viewer's perspective and disrupt the passive consumption of images that has become prevalent in society due to social media. His intention is to encourage a more mindful and reflective approach to viewing and engaging with photos. By investing time and care in the process of creating highly detailed figurative paintings, Tudor aims to transform the dynamic between the subject and the viewer. This process invites the viewer to engage with the image in a deeper way and to reflect on something they might have disregarded in a different context.
Colour is an important element within the paintings, serving as an organizing tool when the paintings are presented as related series or as groups. Ultimately, his work is a critique addressed to the superficial relationship with images that social media creates.
