Ioana Bartha | Everything from Line + Point

Ioana Bartha is a graduate of the Graphics specialization at the Faculty of Arts and Design in Timișoara, and is currently attending the Master's course in Heritage, Restoration and Curatorship. As an artist she uses drawing in connection with other mediums of expression that can increase her levels for understanding existence in all its aspects.

The intervention "Everything from Line + Point" took the form of performative drawing, starting from the principles of Paul Neagu's creation. Concepts such as "hyphen" or "anthropocosmos" formed the basis of some figurations in continuous or fragmented lines, relying on the force of the ritual gesture. The meaning, the order, the complexity will finally be reduced to a single point, the search for "the sign freed from meaning [...] which contains only the unmanifested symbolic energy" (P. Neagu, 1996), just like Paul Neagu's hyphen.
