Central Connecticut brings a taste of Romania to New Britain with an upcoming art exhibit. This exhibit features works created by students from one university in Romania. It is known as the “Fix Flux,” which is opening on Thurs., Jan. 31.

All of the art featured in the exhibit comes from Partium Christian University in Oradea. The collection consists of art featured are print media, logos, branding, posters, illustration and poetry.

“Over the past 15 years, the arts at Partium Christian University in Oradea, Romania have been taught with a unique perspective, one that focuses on helping students attain the perspective of an artist while becoming ‘Creative Laborers,’” CCSU art professor Dr. Broadus-Garcia said in a statement. “Students consider their role in communicating to others through their use of subject matter, media and form. Resulting portfolios are creative, engaging and informative.”

PCU student Kinga Nagy illustrates and communicates her message through art.

Her photo series entitled ‘Fragment-Whole’ will be featured in this exhibit. The series depicts Nagy in several simple positions surrounded by drawn outlines of herself. The outlines serve as the illusion of movement. Nagy’s purpose in creating Fragment-Whole was to communicate where she believes is the dawning of happiness.

“[Fragment-Whole]  is a series of photos in which I am the only character. The topic of the photos is myself, to be more precise, my body and its parts,” Nagy stated. “The work is based on the notion that the source of our happiness is not outside but within us.”

Another PCU student Tímea Kőszegi piece “Alto Princesses” was inspired by several Hungarian bands. She created a potential logo energized by lyrics from the bands’s songs. Kőszegi used a subject that she personally found interesting and allowing her to showcase her artistic ability while also sharing her interests to the world.

“I consider this a prolific topic because [it gives] me total freedom,” Kőszegi said, in regards to her piece. “In addition to illustration, special emphasis was placed on creative typography which appears as graphic elements in the project.”

PCU’s Ramóna Kovács illustrated the app “The Geeky Kitchen.” She designed her artwork as an app due to the current technologically advanced society; people generally tend to be fixated on apps and phones. Kovács could not help but notice this and decided to make a statement about it through her artwork.

“Nowadays everywhere we go, we come across people checking their phones,” Kovács said. “Do they only throw a glance at it while waiting for the bus or check it out extensively while being in a doctor’s waiting room? What can be more entertaining during the long wait than a mobile application? A part of my project is designed exactly for that, a game to relieve boredom.”

Not only does the Fix Flux exhibit display the three aforementioned artists, but artwork from several of their peers. Come visit the opening reception of Fix Flux on Thursday, Jan. 31 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the CCSU Art Gallery. The exhibit will be open until Feb. 28, Monday to Friday, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and is free for  everyone.
