An artist and teacher, Florian Lazăr Alexie (1938–2016) trained generations of ceramicists and sculptors and helped redefine ceramics as a medium of sculptural expression.
In his work, volume, space, and matter are organized within a rigorous visual language characterized by the synthesis of forms and a sense of monumentality.

Today, his work belongs to a generation that is underrepresented in digital archives, and “Monumenta in fragmentis” aims to bring back into the public eye a body of work that is essential to understanding the evolution of contemporary ceramics in Romania.

An Exercise in Interpretation
The collected works invite the public to reconstruct, through their own interpretive exercise, an artistic universe that extends beyond the gallery space and continues through memory, research, and dialogue.

Through his work and his teaching, the artist has established himself as one of the figures who have made a decisive contribution to the rise of Romanian ceramics in dialogue with the major transformations in European ceramics during the second half of the 20th century.
The exhibition is open on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
