In "The Red Line," I depict two naked, vulnerable men engaged in a violent struggle at the very moment they cross a border. A thick, tangible red line runs through the composition. It symbolically separates two worlds: one where rules and boundaries are still respected, and one where their transgression becomes possible. The red line declared by Obama in response to the use of chemical weapons in Syria, like diplomatic and moral norms constantly…
being tested, seemed to have lost all meaning. The two figures embody this tipping point: to cross or to retreat, to respect the prohibition or to enter a lawless territory. Can one turn back when the unacceptable has become possible? The line still exists, but it no longer protects anything. It now marks the unsettling border of a world where violence, transgression, and cynicism risk becoming the norm.

Cornel Barsan, born in Brașov and based in Paris, explores painting, sculpture, photography, and digital art, having also invented a concrete-based paint. He employs a multitude of techniques, moving freely from one style to another, meticulously preparing his works and blending spontaneous interventions with conceptual scenographies. His art, deeply philosophical and focused on the human condition, expresses a tension between pain, duality, and beauty, conveying an emotion of existential quest, universal communion, and resistance to the world.
