Description
Ioana Bătrânu (b. 1960) lives in Bucharest, Romania. Bătrânu graduated the Fine Arts Institute in Bucharest in 1983. Her intimate works with blurred depictions of objects suggest a fluid overlapping between things. Her themes are melancholic interiors, enclosed gardens and latrines. Often the interiors are distorted or present only a detail of a place that makes them unrecognizable. There is no horizon but a melancholic niche focus which overwrites every works. The places seem to be frozen in time without any human presence, just what remained after them. The artist through this very personal representation of her subject matters shows the importance of subjectivity which she places into reality. The paintings are charged with the artist’s personal emotions and her vision of the world. She has been exhibiting regionally from the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Bucharest to the Ludwig Museum in Budapest and also in the US at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
