Selected Exhibitions and Awards

In competitions organized by the Japan Calligraphic Art Academy in Tokyo and the Japan Calligraphy
Center in Los Angeles, Stefan Arteni was awarded the Japan Foreign Affairs Minister's Grand Prize
for Calligraphy in 1996 and in 2005, the Silver Award for Kana (linked writing) in 1999, the Consul
General of Japan in Los Angeles Grand Prize in 2002.
Arteni's art sprouted in the bitter soils of an East-Central Europe haunted
by horrors , in the shadows of hegemonic ideologies, in the cultural
climate of borderlands rooted in latency and limological uncertainties.
The geographic accident of being intermediate between West and East -
chance [fatum] is etymologically linked to fate - defines coexistence
within the Self of two or more 'here-and-now'. Being somewhere in-
between, leads to simultaneous incorporation in more than one culture,
to inner multiplicity, to an interplay of multiple parallel and distributed
identity constructions and to the metaphor of form as secure
multi-ontology assertion. It is a matter of having to forge a communication
which opens to a singular play of the visual, a play that spells out the
paradoxicality built into the recomposition of painterly acts by means of
parallel transclassic operations which activate and adopt a variety of
incongruent formal devices and domains, however strange this may
seem in view of the Procustean mindset of the contemporary art world.
With an inherent heterarchical outlook and a flneur's eye for chance,
Arteni juxtaposes the 'look from within' and the 'look from without',
transcending the horizons of each particular cultural contexture, while
non-synchronous tendencies within styles bring about formal mutation.
It is a view from the margins, a play with the disruption incited by the
boundary entity. It suggests displacement and the ephemeral quality of
past and future. Arteni's migrating polycontextural mind with its
paradoxical multiplicity of identities crosses multiple borders. The
presence of the archaic within the contemporary complements the
representation of the present in an allegorical vision of the past. To
be sure, it is a paradoxification which manages multiple formal domains,
fixing new levels of creative knowledge. Such an aesthetics subtly
undergirds much of Arteni's thought. Implicit in this is a de-privileging
of logocentrism and metanarratives.

Publications and Lecture -Demonstrations

Since 1974, Arteni has authored over one-hundred radio broadcasts and published papers on art history, the manufacture of
artist's materials, the techniques and materials of painting, and aesthetics (phenomenology and systems theory). He has
participated in the Congresses of the International Council of Museums (Committee for Conservation), the Deutsches
Farbenzentrum, the Chinese Society for Aesthetics, ICMS8 (Gestes, formes et processus signifiants en musique et semiotique
interarts), and in numerous other international Symposia and Conferences. Arteni has also participated in the Conferences
of and chaired the I.S.F. Section "Lipids in Art" in the United States, England, and France.

In recent years, he has lectured

on and demonstrated calligraphy
(Greek, Sanskrit, Chinese, and
Japanese), and participated in
workshops in New York (1995
and 1996) ; the Freeman Center
for East Asian Studies at
Wesleyan University,
Middletown, CT (1998) ;
Columbia University, New York
(1998) ; St. Mark's Library,
General Theological Seminary,
New York (1999); the New York
Hall of Science, New York
(2005); and the QCC Art Gallery
CUNY, New York (2006).

He now concentrates his research on the pictorial fact and procedural switches between formal contextures, the ludic ritual
act of the performance event that creates a form-space, art communication as a high-context process, the mereotopology
of formal constructs, metacultural sensibility and complexity theory, and the complementarity of painting and calligraphy.

UNstant (An-instant), a collective work packaged in book form, initiated and made
possible by I.D.E.A.C. (Institut d'Esthetique des Arts Contemporains/Universite
Paris I - Pantheon-Sorbonne) and C.N.R.S.(Centre National de la Recherche
Scientifique), France, is about exploring transversal thought and emerging gesture
in the visual, audio, and movement mediums. Arteni's intervention (ink works,
artist's books and monotypes portfolio) showcases a polycontextural artistic matrix,
the mark as chronotopic palimpsest, the total gesture as immediate enstatic
experience.

An excellent opportunity for presenting UNstant was offered by a conference at the

University of Reading, U.K., September 2005, on the theme "Transversalities,
crossing disciplines, cultures and identities".

 I am: and I understand by means of the intellect and by the way of the senses
The beautiful, absolute in itself, becomes embodied only variably and forbearingly.
Nicolae Steinhardt

General Background

Stefan Arteni, who sometimes uses the sobriquet Kyosen (Crazy Hermit), comes

from a multicultural background. He was born in Bucharest and has lived in Rome and New
York. Arteni was educated at Romanian elementary and secondary schools in Bucharest,
and continued his education at Romanian (Bucharest), Italian (Rome) and United States
(New York) universities. He has pursued studies in architecture, art history, fine arts, icon
and mural painting, and the restitution and conservation of architectural monuments. He is
also proficient in several languages and has worked for the Vatican Radio as redactor and art
historian for many years.

From the beginning, a translocal multi-identiy web and a recursiveness of identity recreation,
a being between and astride cultures and moving across languages and visual contextures
set side by side, imply a second-order perspective, an experiential metacultural sensibility

Byzantine art freely appropriated and adapted the artistic practices of pagan Rome. There is
a wealth of references, borrowings and allusions in works by Pablo Picasso. Sound and
music compositions have employed remixing, reuse, quotation and self-quotation, for
centuries. More than at any previous time, an artist may have today knowledge and access to
works of the past. Charles Esche has commented recently and not entirely sympathetically:
"The past has become the future".

Redefining the artscape triggers the collage loop in myriad combinations: the use of random
procedures, recycling of fragments handed over to memory, objets trouvs, a quarry of
fragments mined for visual and associative effect, stylistic collage, commercial imagery,
fragments of artworks, random cut or torn paper bits, recycled by means of montage, staging,
perspective, foreshortening, are used by Arteni in collage modelli to create conflict and Private collection,
contrast through colliding imagery, through recuperation and alteration, and through an ironic Rome, Italy
reference to and dtournement of the very strategies of the avantgarde 'canon', 'tradition' or
'dogma' - the terms are ambiguous and suggestive of the structural contradiction inherent in
the avantgarde concept itself.
 What form of mediain the most general and generic sense of the
technology of representation, the genre of mediationwould be
appropriate to the modern experience of exile ? Is there a mediatic
temporality that could be usefully described as exilic ?...
Homi Bhabha

All painting is painted under erasure and so is (as it explicitly, self-reflexively proclaims itself) an
empty page that is, by that very emptiness, marked.

To use a musical analogy, variations on a formal theme or themes, developmental or metamorphic

variations and improvised variations are at the core of Arteni's work. It is clear that there is a single
signature in Arteni's work, whatever his subject or style - Arteni questions the inherent
importance of stylistic consistency and challenges the medium to meet any demand of form. Two
or more works may be based on the same hetero-referential construct, which is treated with
different variational techniques, that is to say compositionally, harmonically, chromatically, or as
Private collection, tonal variations. The works are characterized by the absence of temporal and geographical
Sweden markers, which indicates their oneiric quality. The reuse of imagery gives a figurative style an oddly
apocalyptic force and bears a similarity to the spirit of the medieval practice of musical contrafacta:
the artist combines sources, models, and methods with improvisation and quasirandomness.

The reduplication of the difference between medium and form in

forms that in turn can be used as mediumto turn any possible form
into the medium of a possible different form and to consider these forms
as a calculus on the codependence of marked and unmarked states
Dirk Baecker

The collage of visual reference is echoed on the plane of color. Color orchestration provides an
ideal complement to Arteni's baroque imagery and playful use of genres iconography. The
anachronism of the genres does produce a number of effects such as an odyssey in time and
space through the interpenetration of various formal domains, and the reinscription of exilic or
diasporic otherness.

Far-Eastern Calligraphy Art

Having felt limited by the inadequacy of the Western mainstream avantgarde paradigm and its memetics of
instability as well as by the accepted notions premised on the subservient role of painterly discourse, Arteni
turned elsewhere for inspiration and stylistic approaches. It is exactly the sense of being an outsider that allows
Arteni to observe with detached curiosity. The utter apartness (Abgeschiedenheit) of art amplifies the genealogy
of form. Classical revivalist concerns are merged with other traditions. These include the art of the Far East.
They also include protoscripts and folk art - where the synchronicity of figurative pictures and abstract motifs
may appear in the same sequence, a dual capacity that has been developed in pre-modern cultures
throughout the ages - and a variety of visual material re-valued by juxtaposition and viewed as empty signifier.

and is now pursuing calligraphy with Professor Yusho

University, Tokyo, one of Japan's foremost Living
Masters and president of the Nihon Shodo Geijutsu

Miyajima Eishi and one of Japan's top calligraphers
Arteni has been awarded in 2005 the highest rank,
SHIHAN (Master Teacher), by The Japan Calligraphy
Art Association. It is tradition that the teacher gives the
student an art name which points to the student's nature.
In 2005 Arteni received the special art name GEIZAN
[meaning Art Mountain] from Yusho (Setsuzan) Tanaka
|
Sensei. Arteni was given a part of the Teacher's art
Hidai Nankoku name, ZAN [meaning Mountain,] as a symbol of spiritual
succession.
The Association traces its lineage to 1887, when a
young Miyajima Eishi crossed the sea to study with
Chang Lien Ch'ing, a representative Chinese
calligrapher who had succeeded in blending all schools
of stelae writing into an unique style. Each generation
develops new interpretive strategies and searches deep
into the meta-artistic logic of visual forms as such or of
graphic systems underlying calligraphic styles. Professor
Yusho Tanaka (Setsuzan), for example, has ventured
into a creative stylistic retrieval of bamboo and wooden
strips inscriptions - form becomes the artist's koan.

Born in Bucharest, educated in Rome, and

now working in New York, Stefan Arteni is a
painter, printmaker, calligrapher, and book
artist, drawing from broad crosscurrents of
culture and history.
His The Way of Form appeared at the QCC
Art Gallery in 2006 and though that was

UN ARTICOL DE NICOLAE CONSTANTINESCU
NR. 433 din 15-August-2013
Perspectiva eroica, epopeica, activa, luptatoare, care tradeaza sau macar altereaza substanta marelui text
mioritic, nu a parasit nicicnd exegeza acestuia, desi nscrierea sa n orizontul estetico-filosofic pare a prevala. O
demonstratie n acest sens, n sinteza profesorului iesan Petru Ursache, Miorita. Dosarul mitologic al unei
Capodopere. Cu ilustratii si Postfata de Stefan Arteni, Editura Opera Magna, Iasi, 2013. Daca discursul
universitarului de la Iasi, erudit, neliniar, sincopat pe alocuri, ferm n judecatile/prejudecatile sale, curajos n
apropieri si echivalari neasteptate, original si repetitiv n acelasi timp, prea exigent cu unii confrati pe care i ignora
cu gratie si prea ngaduitor cu altii, si caracterizeaza foarte bine autorul, surpriza vine de la graficianul Stefan
Arteni care nsoteste exegeza ursacheiana cu o serie de compozitii digitale extrem de expresive, n care un ochi
dibaci poate descifra trimiteri la Miorita eterna (p. 211), n care mi pare a descoperi o imagine foto (digitala,
desigur) a celebrului mozaic realizat de Milita Petrascu pe peretii exteriori ai fntnii Miorita din Bucuresti, opera
arhitectului Octav Doicescu, sau la personaje ale bestiarului mitologic evocate de etnolog n discursul sau (p. 57).
Iar discursul plastic are si o sustinere teoretica, adaugnd o dimensiune deloc neglijabila interpretarii baladei
dimensiunea antropologica, cu generalitati antropofilosofice (Orice comunitate este calauzita de o viziune despre
lume si se afla ntr-o relatie definita cu ntregul si cu sine. Aceasta nseamna ca omul trebuie ntotdeauna sa fie
nradacinat ntr-o structura a convingerilor si a ordinii. Asadar, nainte de toate, omul se afla n cultura si este
purtator de cultura) si aduceri la zi n limitele bunului simt si bunului gust, plednd pentru o hermeneutica de
adncime a acestui palimpsest al ruinelor.

Self-descriptions of double-faced experiences are not always easy to grasp.

"An artist's split between cultures becomes a potential means of deautomatizing worn-
out formal devices, a strategy of inserting and asserting, of uprooting and
defamiliarizing formal contextures. In a true sense the process exhibits a
polycontextural stylistic matrix and a distributed artistic identity - one runs across the
terms heterarchy, contexture, polycontexturality, transjunction and kenogrammatics in
Gotthard Guenthers transclassic logic investigations. Polycontextural systems apply
different codes of self-observation related to different observation positions. (Arteni)

Rene Labuies: an abstract monologue
I am currently composing an abstract
monograph, not on or about but very near to
the life and work of Rene Laubies, accounting
for his legacy by calling into play a radical
Euro-decentering effusion of cultural hybridity
essential to the patterning of his own looming
art.
Methodological pose: a hermeneutics of
'wayfaring,' flneur and dap.
Reference: Stefan Arteni 2001. "Painting,
Image, Likeness."

In October 2007 Arteni received a few emails
from Sritantra.Sritantra wrote:

Rene's "final" work: towards a global art analysis (draft2)
Broadly speaking, calligraphy holds dissimilar social status in Eastern and Western art historical cultures.
However, in traditional Asiatic critical art practice, particularly in the Far Eastern literati tradition, there is
neither a compelling nor a valid distinction drawn between painting and calligraphy, as such, between
image and reflection, idea and word, for that matter, between presentation and representation.
What is more, in our present globalizing academic sense at least, painting isn't necessarily even
considered "painting" but more an extension of writing (criture), which covers simultaneously images and
letters, and thereby makes such terms as "letter" and "image" remarkably 'irrelevant in stricto senso'
(Inaga, 2007: 266).
Calligraphy, then, as a facet of writing, and which thereby expects to communicate something, harbours
resounding rhetorical implications. And one ponders therefore as to what extent the peripheries of Asia had
touched upon the thalassocratic quayage of Imperial Venice (ca. 13-15th cen). However, even in the far
earlier sixth-century period, Gregory the Great (d. 604) had already in essence classified the art of painting
as an aspect of 'Rhetoric' and thereby subsumed it under 'Word' (Arteni, 2001). Now if the inverse proposal
also holds true, then what shall be made of an artist's letters or even incoherently scribbled notes? Would
not these items form a part of the artist's corpus of "paintings"?
Full-bodied questions start to emerge in regard to our subject's final composition.
Question 1: Where from Laubies, East or West?
If East wins out, then the following comes to surface.
Question 2: What constitutes Rene Laubies's true "final" work?
I shall return to these questions as soon as possible.

[In the Far East traditions,] "calligraphy" and "painting" (shhua/shoga) is a single classification category in
the conservation of cultural properties. When the European academic definitions of fine arts was introduced
in Japan in the 1880s, it provoked harsh controversy. The question of whether calligraphy whould be
included or excluded from the category of fine arts was the point at issue. The opposition continues
today. (Inaga: 266)For Inaga's personally corrected Homepage version, see

La Sainte Transfiguration par Stefan Arteni

Stefan Arteni quand il veut effectuer ce passage du Zen au
Christianisme ne peut que trouver l'Hagiographie (ou
iconographie) orthodoxe et il ne peut que s'intresser la Prire
de Jsus laquelle il a consacr un album. Parce que comme la
calligraphie japonaise ou chinoise, l'Hagiographie est criture
(criture sainte et criture du sacr) pas la peinture occidentale
dite religieuse, ou thme religieux. De mme que la calligraphie
est mditation, l'Hagiographie est prire. De mme que la
calligraphie et l'art pictural qui en dcoule, l'Hagiographie
orthodoxe sont action et mditation en mme temps. Le
calligraphe mdite avant son art comme l'iconographe prie avant
de se mettre au travail. Corps, me et esprit sont en mouvement
sans division, sans sparation dans la rceptivit de l'Indicible,
de l'Innommable, dans le paradoxe de l'Irreprsentable, dans la
clbration du Sacr. Quand il y a communication entre
calligraphie (la belle criture du Beau) et l'Hagiographie la
Lumire n'y perd pas, elle est vue travers un autre prisme mais
c'est toujours la Lumire

Zhang Jiuling
ORCHID AND ORANGE II

Here, south of the Yangzi, grows a red orange tree.

All winter long its leaves are green,
Not because of a warmer soil,
But because its' nature is used to the cold.
Though it might serve your honourable guests,
You leave it here, far below mountain and river.
Circumstance governs destiny.
Cause and effect are an infinite cycle.
You plant your peach-trees and your plums,
You forget the shade from this other tree.

"Scoala Brncui"
n capitala Franei au avut loc o serie de manifestri, sub
egida UNESCO, dar i a Ligii Culturale pentru Unitatea
Romnilor de Pretutindeni, cu ocazia mplinirii a 50 de ani
de la trecerea n nemurire a lui Constantin Brncui,
olteanul din Hobia, devenit cetean al lumii. La Centrul
Artei Contemporane "George Pompidou" din Paris, a fost
reconstituit ntocmai atelierul su, lsat n ntregime statului
francez, dup ce autoritile de la Bucureti l-au refuzat cu
mai bine de 50 de ani n urm. Cu regretul de a nu fi fost
neles n ara natal, marele artist mrturisea pe patul de
moarte duhovnicului su c-i pare nespus de ru c va muri
nempcat sufletete: "fiindc nu pot s-mi dau sufletul n
ara mea".
S-a afirmat pe bun dreptate c nu exist stat din Europa,
Asia sau America, care s nu fi auzit de romnul Brncui,
printele sculpturii moderne.
Unul dintre cei mai de seam elevi ai si a fost Constantin
Antonovici (1911-2002). Acesta a fcut studii la Academia
de Arte din Iai, specialitatea "sculptor", pe care a terminat-
o n anul 1939. nc de atunci i-a propus s ajung la
Paris, la C. Brncui i s devin discipolul acestuia. O
vreme, n anul 1940 a lucrat la Zagreb, n Croaia, n
atelierele marelui sculptor croat I. Mestrovici. n anul 1941,
revenind la Zagreb, a fost arestat de Gestapo, internat n
Germania i apoi i s-a fixat domiciliul forat la Viena, unde a
realizat o serie de opere de art i a participat la expoziii
de grup. Imediat dup rzboi, a primit comenzi de scupturi
de la Vatican, Veneia, Olanda, Montreal i Washington. n
1947 a ajuns, n sfrit, la Paris i a lucrat o vreme n
atelierul lui Brncui, cel care a rmas apoi pentru toat
viaa sa "maestrul". Dup civa ani, pleac peste Ocean,
unde s-a stabilit definitiv din 1957. S-a integrat activ n viaa
comunitii romneti din New York, care i-a i pus la
dispoziie un atelier ntr-una din anexele unei biserici
romneti. A contribuit din plin la popularizarea operei
brncuiene peste Ocean, dar s-a afirmat i prin propriile
sale lucrri, precum "Bufnia", "Lebda", Statuia lui
Brncui, Capul lui Eminescu etc.
Oarecum n aceeai linie a creaiei sculpturale se situeaz i Alturi de el mai poate fi pomenit pictorul i arhitectul

urmnd apoi mai multe expoziii personale n ar, precum i se apoi n Germania). n 1970 s-a stabilit la New York,
peste hotare, n Italia, Grecia etc. n anul 1981, dup o scurt unde i-a completat studiile i i-a ctigat existena ca
edere n Italia, a emigrat n Canada, stabilindu-se la desenator, crend sute de modele de imprimeuri pentru
Toronto. Sculpturile sale n lemn sau n marmur au devenit marea industrie. S-a remarcat i ca arhitect la cteva din

Pe aceeai linie se nscrie i sculptorul George Apostu sculptor, i grafician, Eugen Mihescu, nscut n 1937 i

The Conversion of Saul

The letters attributed to him account for almost half of the New Testaments 27 books, but Paul
originally Saulof Tarsus didnt start out a fan of Jesus or his followers. It took a blinding flash of
light and a fall to transform this persecutor of Christians into Christianitys all-time greatest
advocate. His famous change of heart on the road to Damascus is depicted in this work by
Romanian-born New York painter and master calligrapher Stefan Arteni.
The Book of Acts tells how Saul, a tentmaker, oversaw the stoning of the first Christian martyr,
Stephen. Fired by a zealous hatred for the followers of Jesus, Saul denounced other Christians and
voted for their execution, and then took his show on the roadheading for Damascus to trouble
Christians there. On the way, however, he experiences one of the Bibles great turnabouts: While
he was still on the road and nearing Damascus, suddenly a light from the sky flashed all around
him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? Tell
me, Lord, he said, who you are. The voice answered, I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. ...
Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see (Acts 9:38).

ON THE COVER: Jesus stands on the
gates of Hell (marked with a skull) in
this Japanese ink and gouache painting
of the Anastasis (Resurrection), by
contemporary New York artist Stefan
Arteni. With his right hand, Jesus pulls
Adam up; in his left hand, he holds a
scroll. According to early Christian
tradition, after Jesus died, he
descended into Hell, where he raised
the Old Testament heroes from the
dead and invited them to join him in
heaven. The scroll Jesus holds in
images of the descent (also called the
Harrowing of Hell) may stem from a
medieval tradition that remains alive
today in Eastern European folktales.
According to these legends (described
by David R. Cartlidge in Dealing with
the Devil), Jesus not only saved Adam,
he also tore up the scrolled contract the
first man had signed with Satan after
the Fall.
