The World According to Ion B. Storyline

A homeless man in his sixties has lived for years on a mattress among the bins in the courtyard of a Bucharest apartment building. His name is Ion Barladeanu and he is currently one of the most sought-after modern Romanian artists. In an old suitcase, he has stashed his brilliant collages, which were displayed at an exhibition in London in 2009, right beside the work of Andy Warhol and Marcel Duchamp. A year later, he had a solo exhibition dedicated to his work in Paris. Without the help of gallery owner Dan Popescu, however, Ion Barladeanu’s fairytale progression from the streets of Bucharest to prestigious international galleries would have been unthinkable. Alexander Nanau’s sensitive portrait introduces us to a man whose difficult journey through life has seen him hit rock bottom. Nonetheless, he is also a distinctive artist, who manages to mock human pettiness and the cruelty of the Ceausescu regime in collages steeped in irony.—oneworld.cz

From homeless to world renowned artist

The World According to Ion B. tells the story of a simple man who had inside him an impressive talent. Being born in a rural village in communist Romania, Ion B. wasn’t able to show his talent in a country where art was controlled by the censorship machine. He became homeless and lived like that for many years until he was discovered by someone who saw the genius that lurked behind his appearance and he debuted as pop artist at the age of 62. Beautifully showing the life he lived among piles of garbage, his only escape beside his art being alcohol and smoking, The World According to Ion B. portrays the undiscovered genius and the struggle of a man trying to understand the changes undergoing in his life. This is a story about the struggle of human creativity against political censorship.
