Biography
[modifier | modifier le code]Cristian Todie is drawn in his early childhood to drawing and painting with the support of his family. At fourteen years old he studies in the visual arts high school of Constanza where he sculpts a serie of busts. Geometry becomes quickly one of his main interests, he creates his first geometrical work of arts and develops his own mathematical theorems.
In 1970, takes place his first exhibition at the galery of the House of culture of Constanza[1].
In 1971, he is arrested by the Securitate, while he attempts to cross the frontier illegaly. Judged by the military tribunal of Bucarest, he is sentenced to one-year prison as a political prisoner at the Vacaresti prison. Depraved of space, material and liberty, its creativity is nurtured by a theorical and an unmaterial medium: his mind escapes into a Cartesian way of thinking and leads to the first works of his theoretical art consisting of brain projections of “geometric places”.
In 1972, after being released from prison, he continues his formation in Constanza where geometry remains the most important materia[2].
In 1975, he finally crosses the boarder and manages to escape from the Socialist Republic of Roumania. He arrives at the Campo Profughi di Padriciano in Italy. He then settles in Paris, France, where he obtains political asylum from the OFRA and starts working in a printing press to sustain himself and to obtain the materials of his works and artistic experiments.
In 1977, he works at Goteborg as a copist, and starts to work on his manifest of theoretical art.
In 1979, he comes back to Paris. After a few year of technical apprenticehip, studying art history and experimenting, he publishes in 1989 his manifest of theoretical art that he will then present at the FIAC of Paris in the Grand Palais.
In 1999, Cristian Todie develops his work on geometry with the volume 2D and the spatial-temporal fracture[3], and starts using blocks of pre-printed papers that he sculpts like he would with a piece of wood.
In 2003, he obtains his first patent of invention with the industrial potential of his artistic work on the volume 2D[4].
In 2012, he fills his second patent of invention[5] on the same basis of a particular geometry, with the protection of the Todiebook as a central point[6].
In 2013, he presents the Todiébook at the 33rd edition of the Book Art Fair in Paris[7]. He then introduces it to the BookFest in Bucharest[8] and later on in Beijing.
In 2016, he creates the potential reality of the casino of Constanza[9].
In 2018, he founds the Todie Foundation[10].
