There is no discordance between his paintings and the objects, as these are trying to translate in the third dimension the visions of the paintings; plus, they bring a great richness of the sugestive expression, an augmentation of the simbolisation and expression resources. Using fragments of the reality – objects ready-made, manufactured, like books, photographical fragments, collage ellements, etc. – the real information and the imaginative one are working together in a very advantageous way. Especially in the case of the BOOK OBJECTS the appeal of the art history is very frequent and is materialised in collages and quotations of famous paintings or sculptures, especially from the Renaissance. THE OBJECTS by Ion Stendl are dominated by the same cromatism, regardless of their structure: cold colours, dominated by brown and blue. (...) The support of the art of Ion Stendl it's the ART itself. The work of art captured in it's CLASSICAL atitude becomes the fuel of the interiour engine, it turns into the image model for the painter."
