Description
Aurel Cojan (b. 1929, Beceni, Romania - d. 2005, Paris, France) was a Romanian painter, equally known for his interest in decorative arts. He studied under the close supervision of Francisc Șirato and Camil Ressu, and was a graduate of the National University of Arts in Bucharest. Together with other artists of his generation such as Paul Gherasim, Ion Pacea, Ștefan Sevastre, Alexandru Țipoia, Cojan rejected the socialist realist tradition.
His works embrace a wide palette of colours, the trajectories of the artist’s strokes spawning an intense atmosphere over the canvas. They convey an intense emotional universe and an artistic process that is deeply intertwined with affective experiences. Cojan’s works often find themselves at the intersection between the figurative and the abstract, as rhizomatic lines give the characters a certain dark vitalism.
Throughout his life, Cojaru’s paintings were presented in different exhibitions in France and Romania. In 1996, he received the Thalens Award of the Beaux-Arts Magazine in Paris.
