Tarus Mihai
Mihai Tarus is extremely diverse despite the concentration of his art. A synthetic perspective, the rigor of approach, which always values the compositional and chromatic equilibrium, a sort of instinct of perfection in every new artistic construction gives it coherence. I am tempted to explain the unity of his art both through the strong structure he manifests as well as through his artistic language. He "speaks" an inexorably unique language. This is a cultivated language, which brings together numberless gains of modern and contemporary art-much wider than those of the Russian Suprematism under whose echo he formed as an artist. Regardless of the technique he uses (plaster and color, cardboard and color, collage) the visual effects are congruent down to the level of his personal style, his instinct as well as reason perfectly serving his goals. His accuracy and formal expression reveal to us a perfectionist.
