Untitled（2014），Oil on canvas，170 × 220 cm，The Parkview Museum Collection

Muntean/Rosenblum’s monumental paintings portray young people in their late teens embodying stereotypical images of youths reproduced by mass media: young and attractive, wearing up-to-date clothes and often depicted with their technological devices. The settings in the paintings span from urban spaces in contemporary society (everyday interiors, empty plots of land, building sites, etc.) to natural landscapes. 

Framed with a white border resembling comic book-style captions, their canvases often include clichés in the lower edge commonplace to typical mass culture and usually do not represent a key to interpret the visual composition of the painting.

What strikes the viewers is the protagonists of these paintings depicted in irrational poses, and unnatural actions. Depicted in groups, they remain characterised by solitude and the impossibility of communicating one with each other. They reveal the total disconnect between space, time, action and language, and the fatal disorder of the hidden relations between the diverse elements of those disturbed scenes. Enigma dominates this theatre of irrationality, dissent and disorder.
