„EROS VS HER CLIT“ by Peter Feiler, Berlin and Diana Matilda Crișan, Bucharest.
This was another exhibition from the Versus series. This time it was a confrontation between two different positions on the relationship between the sexes and the roles of men and women in society.
Artists adhere to diametrically opposed views.
They works combine a high level of aggressiveness in the visual language and a masterly technique. Feiler is a master of drawing. Matilda is a master of embroidery.
The exhibition is organized by two curators, Elena Ghiţoiu, Bucharest and Igor Zaidel, Berlin.
Elena Ghiţoiu is the founder and creator of the iconic Romanian online resource, ArTeVezi, devoted to contemporary art and culture.
The NGO ArTeVezi of the same name is a partner in the project.

Artists
Diana Matilda Crișan
(b. 1995) is an emerging queer artist based in Bucharest, with painting studies completed at the National University of Arts in Bucharest. 2015 marked her first exhibition, in a group show hosted by UNAgaleria. She has been a constant presence on the local art scene ever since then.
Her works are the result of an interdisciplinary process involving drawing, painting, sculpture, installation, and embroidery, all mediums becoming tools of exploring her interest in the multiple transformations of the Anthropocene. Filtered through their own perception, her works are reflections on the processes of creation and destruction, the fine line that separates nature from human development. Returning to Bucharest, her hometown, after three years of experience in Paris, Matilda has become more and more aware of her past, using it as a resource for new artistic projects.
