Description
Romeo Storck (b. 1903, Bucharest, Romania – d. 1991, Paris, France) was a Romanian painter and the son of painter and interwar cultural personality Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest, developing a cubist painting style.
Romeo Storck is known for his landscapes of the seaside town Balchik, as well as for his compositions that glide almost completely towards bi-dimensionality. In works such as Genesis, Storck slightly geometrises and abstracts the shapes and textures of the human body and skin. Blocks of colour are separated by firm contours, and seem to be ordered by a politics of affect. Spatiotemporal constraints and the physical mechanisms of light are only partially suspended to create tension between the real, the symbolic, and the imaginary.
Storck exhibited his works on multiple occasions at the Official Salon in Bucharest. He became particularly well-known in Brazil, where he painted monumental murals in São Paulo and Brasília.
