Life and career
Lascăr was born in 1974 in Bacău. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest in 1998. His main focus during his studies was sculpture. He was Teaching Assistant in the Department of Sculpture at the same academy between 2004 and 2006. Starting with 2000, he works as visual counselor in the field of cosmetic surgery. Bogdan Lascar lives and works in Bucharest and Dubai (UAE). In 2005 in Athens, Greece, he was awarded the UNESCO Gold Medal.
Work
The concept of "Neurophysiologic shapings", which is fundamental to his work, is a wordplay, in which the meaning of the Romanian word ne-ura (English: no-anger) is blended with the meaning of the medical concept of neurophysiology. What we are dealing with here is a physiology of “no-anger” projected in the field of meta-artistic expression.
Lascăr proposes a new type of meta-visual human expression, placed beyond art, above visual, an existential adventure of individual and social shapings based on the report between spiritual, corporal and obiectual in the field of the most symbolic personal meta-estheticism.
His work is a fusion between the following elements:
Film installation with its sculptural extensions.
“Cromatic-alusivoid” drawings, which are drawings applied to flat or volumetric surfaces, whose textures are ranging from resin to canvas, accompanied by successive semi-transparent layers of oil colors.
“Framing” concept, which is a collage of monumental frames for panels and sculptures.
“Calmeneuri“, which is a personal system of modeling by means of self-defense skills with its formula: The force of deconstructive gesture, by projection in the field of plastic expression becomes the power of constructive aesthetic gesture.
Elements of avant-garde medicine.
