Lilian
Petru Scutelnic face parte din noua generatie de mesteri populari afirmati de abia in
ultimii ani. Este, asemenea altor colegi de generatie, un mester cult, format in cadrul
unor institutii de invatamant selecte din Chisinau (Colegiul Republican de Arte Plastice
„A. Plamadeala”, specialitatea „Tapiserie artistica”, si Academia de Muzica,
Teatru si Arta Plastica, specialitatea „Prelucrarea artistica a metalului”).
Interesant si usor paradoxal e faptul ca tanarul
mester de la Chisinau nu a ales ca domeniu mestesugaresc vreo specialitate din colegiu sau
facultate, ci a inceput a se ilustra in unul din cele mai complexe mestesuguri, e vorba de
ceramica. Totusi, calitatile sale innascute de artist se regasesc in tot ceea ce face
astazi; productia lui artistica, executata preponderent prin modelarea manuala a argilei,
inseamna multe suvenire de mici proportii, perfect potrivite cerintelor turistului modern,
grabit si silit la un bagaj cat mai redus cu putinta; dintre suvenirele produse de Lilian
Scutelnic amintim: clopotei, sfesnice, vaze mici, diverse figurine si casute traditionale,
ultimele fiind adevarate embleme pentru mesterul Scutelnic.
Ii place sa aiba in fata ochilor etapele evolutiei
sale artistice; drept urmare, colectia sa personala cuprinde toate lucrarile pe care le-a
facut de la scoala primara incoace. Desi format intr-un mediu prin excelenta inovator,
Lilian Scutelnic isi doreste ca lucrarile sale sa pastreze neaparat si elemente
traditionale, fapt absolut necesar pentru ca din 2006 este membru cu acte in regula al
UMPM. Insa, in acelasi timp, este un tip aflat „tot timpul in cautari” artistice, de
aici iesind la iveala tipuri noi de obiecte cu totul surprinzatoare prin tematica,
proportii si tehnica superioara de realizare, despre Lilian Scutelnic putandu-se afirma ca
pune bazele unor noi traditii in ceramica decorativa. |
Lilian
Petru Scutelnic is part of the new generation of artisans who were recently acknowledged.
He is a schooled artisan as other generation fellows, being trained within several higher
education establishments from Chisinau (“A. Plamadeala” Plastic Arts Republican
College, specialization in “Metal artistic working”).
Interesting and somehow paradoxical is the fact that
the young artisan from Chisinau has not chosen one of the handicrafts studied during
college or faculty and he decided to express himself artistically in one of the most
complex handicrafts, that is ceramics. However, his innate skills are present in all his
creations; his artistic production, executed predominantly by hand molded clay, comprises
many small souvenirs which suit the demands of the modern tourist who is always in a hurry
and has no room in this luggage; some of Lilian Scultelnic’s souvenirs are: ring bells,
candlesticks, small vases, various small statues and traditional houses, the latter being
real logos for the artisan.
He likes to have before eyes the stages of his
artistic development; this is why his personal collection comprises all his works from
primary school until now. Though he is the product of a pre-eminently innovative
environment, Lilian Scutelnic would like his works to keep traditional elements which is
absolutely necessary since he officially became a member of UMPM in 2006. But he is also
in a continuous artistic search and this search originates many new types of objects which
are surprising both in terms of themes, proportions and superior creation technique. In
fact we could say that Lilian Scutelinc lays the foundations of a new tradition in the
ornamental ceramics. |
