Description
Ion Pacea was a Romanian artist considered one of the greatest colorists of modern Romanian painting. He was known for his classic paintings, including landscapes, still lifes, seascapes and interiors. With a solid figurative base anchored in a deep understanding of European painting, he managed to create abstract imagery. In his paintings, the brightness of colour is supported by a paradoxical association between flattened forms and a free, vibrant, gestural brushstroke.
Ion Pacea studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and was taught by the masters Camil Ressu, Jean Alexandru Steriadi and Alexandru Ciucurencu. He made his debut at the Official Salon in Bucharest in 1947. He built a solid career with several solo and group exhibitions in Romania and abroad, including in Paris, Berlin, Prague, Dresden, Edinburgh, Washington, Munich, Moscow and Sofia.
