DESCRIPTION:Through this exhibition\, the National Museum of Art of Romania
  aims to join a wider approach\, national and international\, to raise pub
 lic awareness about the problematic relationship of contemporary man with 
 the animal world.This will provide an opportunity for reflections on human
  interference with the animal kingdom by touching on mythological\, philos
 ophical\, emotional aspects with the central idea of the need to reconside
 r violent actions on animals.The painter Felix Aftene articulates an artis
 tic discourse\, often in the first person\, in representations that includ
 e even under fictious identities\, attentive to the implications of treati
 ng the animal only as a food source\, accessory of violence in society\, t
 rophy\, an ephemeral consumer product\, like so many others\, with the ign
 orance and refusal of its condition of expression of the wonder of the liv
 ing in its diversity.Such an approach is more than welcome in the conditio
 ns of continuous degradation of the natural environment of the planet with
  the most dramatic consequences on daily life. An opportunity to meditate 
 and reconsider our attitude and that of our fellow human beings.&nbsp\;\nF
