Romanian artist Radu Oreian has returned to 1969 Gallery with That Magic Light, his second show with the gallery and first since 2022’s A Sea of Green and Blue. That Magic Light transports us into the inner workings of the artist’s mind, asking the audience the ultimate ontological question of what it means “to be.” Oreian creates a universe containing endless intersections—art combines with history, mythology, pop culture, and philosophy. In introspection, he attempts to make sense of “the artist life,” inviting the viewer to become an accomplice in his ongoing journey to enlightenment; fostering an environment in which the viewers allow themselves to reflect alongside him and follow That Magic Light.
