WHAT CRITICS SAID ABOUT GEORGE SARU'S WORK
The century which started with Matisses liberating Joy of Life, marks its closing with Sarus equally celebratory hymns to the order and exuberance of nature.
L.E.Juge, 2000
Sarus art is limitless, endlessly vibrating in a dynamic rhythm and universal vision.
Marcel
Suliteanu, 1995
An artist of international stature for a third of a
century, Saru is represented in the permanent collections of major museums in
Europe,
Dennis Wepman, 1988
These works have merit even beyond the skill with which George Saru executes his paintings and the great talent which he has honed over 50 years of practice. Because of his restless inquiring mind, Sarus art has gone to the edge of human experience, to the realms of mystery and magic which he discovers his own spirit. His art arrives at that achievement, brought forth in the evolution of a new genre on the ashes of the old, enhanced by present day techniques of neo trompe loeil, abstract illusionism of depth, transparency of color, as well as the excitation of light over the surface.
This art is a revelation, the insight into a subtle spirit.
Palmer Poroner, 1988
The rich earth colors Saru favors are always harmoniously complementing the beautifully poised composition. They radiate the profound devotion the artist experiences for the vital rounded forms he creates. There is never a harsh note here, all is grace and balance and rhythm.
Dennis Wepman,
1988
What a staggering trial for us to rightly grasp the presence of Prometheus way of thinking with the artists when we discover an inner force undertaking the materialization of the infinite which neither science has dared to do.
Mircea Deac, 1980
The major quality of Sarus imagery resides in the harmony of his coloring, the accuracy and balance of his composition. These are great virtues which place his art on a high level.
Radu Bogdan, 1978
Sarus painting is an eulogy to Reason that puts order in space, logically organizing the shapes that define both the world of the visible and those beyond it. What I mean to say is that this form of art softens geometries, invests them with calm, poetry, discovers the essences generating the contours of the perceivable Universe and tends to descend to the rational sources of material structures.
Dan Grigorescu, 1977
Saru paints forms and spaces taken almost from the essence of abstraction, enlivened with the help of colored harmonies and, through the transfiguration of geometry, rendered into a configuration of transparencies and signs which, in imaginary representations, follow each other in poetic succession.
Petru Comarnescu, 1967
