Ion Barladeanu is on his way to becoming an important contemporary artist, but in May 2008 he was still a tramp on the streets of Bucharest.

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.

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.(IMDb)

Ion Barladeanu is born in 1946 in the village Zapodeni, Vaslui county. He escaped his native village at 20, and during the communist regime he tried all possible jobs. Starting in the Danube Delta, he worked as a docker in Constanta. In Bucharest he was a grave digger, wood cutter, guardian or simple worker at the People’s Palace. After 1989 he had marginal ways to earn his living, sorting, like a free lancer, the garbage of a bloc on Calea Mosilor. For more than 30 years, Ion Barladeanu selected and cut images from magazines and realized more than 1 000 collages. From 2008, he is represented by H’Art Gallery, and his works have started an international career, being exhibited in London, Copenhagen, Basel, Paris.

Cine este Ion B.? Ion Bârlădeanu, în vârstă de 62 de ani, este, probabil, singurul reprezentant autentic al popart-ului (în timp ce acest curent artistic de origine britanico-americană făcea ravagii prin expozițiile anilor ’50-’60, în România se sărbătoreau primii ani de împliniri mărețe) mioritic. În acealași timp, Ion Bârlădeanu nu are casă. Doarme pe o saltea murdară la capătul unei ghene de lângă un bloc de pe Calea Moșilor. În „locuința” sa, Ion adună tot ce consideră a fi valoros din cele aruncate de vecini și astfel ajunge să citească reviste, ziare și cărți, obiecte de care ceilalți par să se despartă fără regrete. Mai mult decât atât (și fapt trecut cu vederea de toți cei din jur), Ion și-a dezvoltat singur talentul nativ pentru desen și, începând cu anii ’60, a creat atât desene cât și nenumărate colaje (pe care lenumește „filmele mele”) care acum, după ce timp de câteva decenii au stat ascunse printre gunoaie, sunt pe punctul de a-i aduce celebritatea internațională și de a-l așeza alături de marii creatori ai genului (de care, în treacăt fie sus, Ion B. n-a auzit până de curând) precum Richard Hamilton, Tom Wesselmann sau Andy Warhol...
Povestea cu parfum de basm modern este a unuia dintre cei mai importanți artiști români contemporani.(cinemagia)
