With fine pencil drawings, Ciprian Mureşan retraced the 88 pages of a publication about the artist Piero della Francesca (early Renaissance). Although it sounds absurd at first, in a certain sense it emulates a classical, traditional artists' mode of training by copying the great masters. In the absence of the originals, you have to rely on second-rate copies and prints. Ciprian Mureşan goes as far as to say he cannot make any distinction between words and images. He simply copies the entire book. This conceptual approach, which may indeed involve an element of skepticism about the state of art, has proven successful for him in two ways. He maintains his enjoyment of the process of drawing as an elemental artistic reflection yet at the same time highlights the absurdity of this activity.
