Description
Dorin Crețu (b. 1956 in Brașov, Romania) is a Romanian artist who studied painting at the University of Arts in Bucharest. As part of the 1980s generation of visual artists, Crețu briefly followed a career in teaching. He was awarded the Nicolae Grigorescu Art Institute Prize in 1980.
Crețu’s paintings explore the limits of representation in art, situated at the intersection of abstract expressionism and minimalism. His compositions gather a multitude of geometrical shapes and floral structures through a unique technique of pigmentation and multiple risings. Crețu works with oil colours and acrylics, as well as with watercolours and charcoal, the latter emphasising a sense of transparency and movement on a compositional level, positioning his works at a unique periphery of both figurative and abstract art.
Crețu’s works have been exhibited in Romania, France, Switzerland, Belgium, and his paintings are part of important collections, both private and public.
