Description

Artist Alexandru Chira was born in Tăușeni, in Cluj County, Romania. He graduated from the painting department of the Nicolae Grigorescu Institute of Fine Arts, leaving his mark on Romanian fine arts through a conceptual approach, overloaded with meaning and symbolism, with the discovery and dialogue with himself, the viewer, the surrounding world and transcendence. Ironically defining himself “a master of utopia”, he conceived a world of images and words that contains and exposes them, sometimes even repetitively, but surpasses them at the same time through the subtlety of feelings and the complexity of forms. A multidimensional message and an obsession for complex communication are permanently visible in his works, manifested through a pluri-dimensional oeuvre that encompasses painting, drawing, installation, land-art, film, articles, essays and specialised studies. Chira was the head of ALCHIRA Cultural Foundation and of the Painting Department of the Fine Arts University in Bucharest. During his lifetime, he received several distinctions including the Cultural Merit Award given by the President of Romania, the Union of Fine Arts (UAP) Prize, the Romanian Academy Award. He had solo and group exhibitions in Slovenia, USA, Romania, Japan, Austria, France and Brazil among other places and published extensively in art magazines and cultural publications.
