Three artists from the East were approached for this project. Two of them live and work in Romania and the third in China. They are all different but they have nevertheless a sort of family likeness. First, they approach painting as a genre to be rehabilitated in the context of multiple after modern. It is an intimate and personal approach that is intended to stay detached from a constraint form, which match the zeitgeist. But on the other side it appears that this genre, which has survived the ages and has given the impression of reaching the end of its history, is not as ahistorical than that, according to our protagonists. The East is still living with the ghosts of the past, pegged to the body. Obviously, the last century was traumatic, but it appears that the new generations are constantly investigating the past and trying to exorcise it, particularly those stories that have not been experienced live but were by proxy through parents and grandparents
