Description
Dan Bota (b. 1935, Sibiu, Romania - d. 2021, Bucharest, Romania) was a Romanian artist who developed a unique painting style. Initially training for an architecture career, graduating from the Academy of Architecture Ion Mincu in Bucharest, Bota swiftly switched his path towards the visual arts.
His paintings follow a traditional manner of image representation yet are handled in a modern style. The uniqueness of Bota's technique lies in the various mechanisms of questioning objective reality through altered shapes and varied composition structures. His works approach a wide spectrum of painting genres such as landscapes, still life compositions, portraits, and nudes, in which Bota's motifs are embodied through a versatile palette of colours and uncanny silhouettes.
Bota's works have been exhibited in both solo and group shows in Romania, at the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant, Bucharest; National Museum of Romanian Literature, Bucharest; Simeza Gallery, Bucharest; Apollo Gallery, Bucharest; and Colony Art Gallery, Bucharest, among others.

The artwork was showcased in the Dan Bota solo exhibition in 2014 at the National Museum of the Romanian Peasant, in "The Nude and Only That" (Nudul și atât) Exhibition at the Pavel Șușară Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art from July 26 to September 30, 2022 and in the Dan Bota Exhibition at the National Museum of Literature, Romania, from April 19 to May 6, 2023.
