Cristian Todié, born on 19 April 1954 in the city of Constanța, is a Romanian painter sculptor and inventor currently living in Paris. He is the initiator of theoretical art and the creator-inventor of the Todiebook, a circular spatial book.[1]. He is the grandson of Romanian writer Eugen Todié.
Biography[edit]
Cristian Todié began learning drawing and oil painting at the age of six within the family. At the age of fourteen he attended the high school of plastic arts in Constanza where he created a series of busts. Geometry quickly became a center of interest, he created his first geometric works and developed his own theorems.
In 1970, he exhibited for the first time at the gallery of the House of Culture in Constanza[2].
In 1971, he was arrested by the Securitate on his first attempt to cross the border. Tried by the Bucharest territorial military court, he was incarcerated for a year as a political prisoner at the Vacaresti Prison. Deprived of space, matter and freedom, his mind escapes into a Cartesian thought and gives rise to the first works of his theoretical art consisting of cerebral projections of geometric places.
In 1972, after being released he continued his theoretical studies [3] where geometry remained the most important subject.
In 1975, he managed to cross the border illegally and escaped from the Socialist Republic of Romania. He arrived at Campo Profughi di Padriciano in Italy. He then settled in Paris , France, where he was granted political asylum by the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons, and worked in a printing shop to support himself materially and to be able to obtain the materials for his works and artistic experiments.
In 1977, he worked in Goteborg as a copyist, and at the same time developed the first drafts of his theoretical art manifesto.
In 1979, he returned to Paris. After several years of technical apprenticeships, studies of art history and experimentation, he published his manifesto of theoretical art in 1989 on the occasion of the Foire Internationale d'Art Contemporain in Paris at the Grand Palais.
In 1996, Cristian Todié resumed his geometric work with, in particular, Volume 2D and the space-time fracture,[4] and began to use pre-printed blocks of paper that he carves such as a wooden block.
In 2003, he obtained his first patent involving the industrial potential of his 2D volume art work.[5]
In 2012, he filed his second patent[6] on the same basis of a particular geometry, with the protection of the Todiebook, the spatial book, as its central point.[7]
In 2013, he presented the Todiebook at the 33rd edition of the Salon du Livre in Paris [8]. He later introduced it at the BookFest in Bucharest [9] then to Beijing.
In 2016, he created the potential reality of the casino of Constanza[10].
In April 2018, he founded the Todié Foundation [11]
