Description
Ion Dumitriu's practice spans both the mediums of painting and photography. He was an active representative of Romanian neo-avant-garde art, student of Lola Roth Schmierer and a dedicated art teacher throughout his career. Along with other Romanian artists such as his close friend Horia Bernea, he began to attend, and eventually become part of the group of painters known as the School of Poiana Mărului. Through photography, Dumitriu documented a natural, rural world that would analytically transgress to painting. Most of his works between the 1970s and until the 1990s are closely tied to the special ambiance of Poiana Mărului village, and to the pictorial motifs found in the rural universe. These motifs – the haystack, the hill, the peasant house, are transformed into archetypes intertwining the material with the spiritual while visually focusing on cut-out fragments that recur obsessively in cycles and series. Dumitriu’s essentialized studies of the natural reflect, in fact, upon the relationship between man and nature.
