Norbert Filep este un artist contemporan care trăiește și lucrează în Cluj-Napoca. În ultimii ani, opera sa se articulează prin utilizarea desenului ca mecanism central pentru practica sa conceptuală, mai mult sau mai puțin abstractizată.

Recent, Norbert a curatoriat o serie de expoziții în galerii de renume precum Sector 1 Gallery - unde activează ca artist și director artistic, Jecza Gallery și Biju Gallery.

În cadrul 'Transylvanian Lights' vorbim cu Norbert despre artă in context, noi tendințe in arta Românească și despre importanța curatorului în ecosistemul cultural local și global.

@sector1gallery
@jecza_gallery
@biju.gallery

OPEN CALL for Artists: @himera.ro x @jecza_gallery Summer Show, curated by @norbertfilep ‼️ Deadline: May 29th ❗️❗️

We’re excited to announce the open call for this year’s summer show, opening on June 11, 2026, in Timișoara across both gallery spaces - Himera & Jecza Timisoara.

Curated by Norbert Filep, the exhibition continues our ongoing interest in presenting emerging and evolving artistic practices within a collective exhibition framework.

The open call is addressed to artists living and working in Romania, or to works that are currently available and can be shipped from Romania.

All mediums are welcome.

To apply, please send:
— portfolio
— list of available works

to : emacristescu@jeczagallery.com

The submitted works must be available and ready for shipping.

Deadline for applications: May 29, 2026.

We look forward to seeing your work.

We're happy to announce the opening of a new exhibition @biju.gallery!

Next Friday, on May 22nd, we invite you to the opening of Mircea But's solo show, curated by Norbert Filep.

This evening is also very special to us because we'll be celebrating 4 years since the gallery first opened its doors. 🩶

“The punctiform structure constitutes a latent logic of the image. The mosaic-like nature operates through the resolution marked by the totality of points on a delimited surface, without permanently fixing the level of clarity of the image. In Mircea But’s recent works, resolution becomes an inverted process, a form of pixelation of immediate nature through brushstrokes, where information is simultaneously articulated and displaced.
A dilation of time becomes the balance of the painterly act.” (excerpt from the curatorial text by Norbert Filep)

We will welcome you with the same energy that has kept us going for the past four years and continues to push this journey forward 💫

May 22 | 6PM
Memorandumului 17, Cluj-Napoca

Lucian Popăilă | Hwæt cleaves the air

Accumulation ultimately defines the nature of the imago generated by Popăilă, functioning as a morphological exploitation of figural elements. Water, plants, planets, or even the astronaut become subjects that tend toward, or prepare, a continuous recontextualization of form, in which they coagulate into synthetic clusters of title-signs. The ongoing articulation of form operates through variation and through the condensation of the conceptual content of the title into a morphological reduction, generating ambivalent directions of reading—from title to sign and back again.

In this video, curator Norbert Filep reflects on the exhibition More Real Than Nature, as a dialogue across multiple generations of artists — from Victor Ciato and Ioan Sbârciu, to Radu Comșa, Simion Cernica, Maxim Liulca, Leonardo Silaghi, Mihaela Hudrea, Norbert Ștefan and Oana Năstăsache — tracing how abstraction continues to evolve in relation to the digital space we live in.

If you’re planning a visit to see the exhibition, please note that the gallery will be closed this weekend for the Easter holidays. ✨

We look forward to welcoming you back starting next week.

The exhibition remains on view until May 31.

The dialogue between the viewer and the image emerges through a moment of delay or pause, which deepens the engagement with the painted surface.
The fluidity of forms defines the artist’s practice. It is visible both within each series and across different series, where forms transform while retaining traces of earlier structures. A diagrammatic dimension can thus be identified, in which form mutates from one series to another, shaped by the pictorial processes and the specific medium used. The image results from a symbiosis between tetracromy and the particularities of techniques such as fresco, egg tempera, or charcoal drawing.
This synthesis reinforces a reductive character of the images, aligning them with the structure of haiku poetry, where multiplicity is expressed through minimal means. Forms are simplified, a process supported by the speed of the pictorial act, especially in fresco.
