King Charles III\u2019s House in Viscri, the famous village in Romania\u2019s Transylvania region, has unveiled a new exhibition dedicated to celebrated Romanian artist Constantin Flondor, marking another milestone in the site\u2019s mission to link heritage with contemporary art. Garden Empire\/\u00cemp\u0103r\u0103\u021bia Gr\u0103dinii opened on August 19 and will remain on display until November 2.<\/p>\n
Curated by Cosmin Florea and Irina Motroc, the show presents more than six decades of Flondor\u2019s work, spanning painting, drawing, watercolor, pastel, mixed media, and experimental film. It traces the artist\u2019s evolution from the 1970s to today, with a focus on his most recent series, which continue to explore nature as both subject and creative partner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a privilege to host these works, which invite us to contemplate nature with attentive eyes,\u201d said Raluca Grigore, manager of The King\u2019s House.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She noted that the exhibition reflects King Charles III\u2019s belief in finding belonging through nature, echoing the house\u2019s permanent Transylvania Florilegium, a collection of botanical illustrations inspired by the local flora.<\/p>\n
The exhibition is part of SIT 2025 \u2013 Sessions in Transylvania, an independent platform that fosters dialogue between rural heritage and contemporary artistic expression in the villages of Alma Vii and Viscri. Previous editions have honored artists including \u0218tefan C\u00e2l\u021bia, Sorin and Adrian Ilfoveanu, and Peter Jecza.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Organized in partnership with Jecza Gallery and the Mihai Eminescu Trust Foundation, the exhibition is hosted in the repurposed barn of the royal property.<\/p>\n
Constantin Flondor, one of the leading figures of Romanian contemporary art, said nature has always been his guiding force. \u201cThe true patron of this exhibition is nature. [\u2026] I am more of a painter of observation and admiration, one who wishes to understand, to notice, to contemplate, and to pass on this sense of wonder,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Since opening to the public in 2022, The King\u2019s House in Viscri has welcomed more than 75,000 visitors. Most of its profits are reinvested in local heritage and community projects.<\/p>\n
