Bogdan Rata is a sculptor from the young generation of the artists. His new hybrid realism is finding new genetic forms of human anatomy in search of a new posthumanism.
Based in a “forgotten future”, his work reproduces “replicas of reality” reminiscent of the virtual world in the film Blade Runner. Rata multiplies human parts (fingers, ears, and so on) and combines them into new life forms. The newborn creatures seem to result from strange experiments with the human body in an esthetics lab.
Rata’s works forge a contextual change of the anatomic detail through its obsessive multiplication. The materials used, and the resulting industrial look, question the assault on individual personality in a climate of commercial branding uniformity. The concept of “hand-foot” and the “unsuccessful blessing” symbol strengthens the idea behind the work, delicately propelling it into the realm of grotesque. The torso also evokes a twist of reality, the socially provocative themes of sexual identity and the hermaphrodite.
He uses new materials as polystyrene, industrial paint, plaster, synthetic resin.

Romanian sculptor, Bogdan Rata creates bodily forms devoid of facial features and personality some of which are seemingly engulfing into their own skin. Using polystyrene, industrial paint, plaster, and synthetic resin, Bogdan sculpts forms of human anatomy projecting what could be our own discomfort with the human body. The sculptures are uncomfortable not knowing whether they are morphing into the human form or away from it.
