Alexandru Ciucurencu

Additional info:

Alexandru Ciucurencu was a Romanian Post-Impressionist painter, known for his skillful use of colour. He studied Fine Art in Bucharest and then in Paris, where he was a student of the French Cubist painter André Lohte. He was a professor at the National School of Fine Arts in Bucharest and a member of the Romanian Academy. While Ciucurencu focused on still life and landscape in his early paintings, later on he approached social and historical themes, works that can be read in relation to the postwar realities of socialist modernity. His style is highly recognizable by the precise black strokes, geometrizing the characters, objects, and architectures that are being represented. The contours are accompanied by perfectly directed plays of colour that convey a carefully curated narrative of emotional states on behalf of the artist. Alexandru Ciucurencu’s works have been exhibited internationally in Warsaw, Moscow, Bucharest, Berlin, Athens, Zurich, London, Tokyo, Cairo, or New Delhi, amongst others.
