Additional info:
Octav Grigorescu was a Romanian painter, graphic artist, book illustrator and a fine arts professor. He started his career as an illustrator of classical texts such as Divina Comedia by Dante or Proust’s In Search of A Lost Time. Ranging from abstract painting on canvas to book illustrations, Octav’s personal explorations of the various expressions of modern visuality brought to fruition an almost invisible materiality, asking to be discovered through the intuition and understanding of the viewer. Throughout his works remains coherent a typically avant-garde nostalgia for the primordial and worship of the elementary on the one hand, and a postmodernist taste for the presentiment of death, that filter in a subtle way echoes of Da Vinci or Poussin. He represented Romania at the 34th Venice Biennial, together with Virgil Almășanu and Ovidiu Maitec, and was present in many national and international exhibitions around the world.
