Description
Silvia Radu (b. 1935, Pătroaia, Romania) is a sculptor, painter and potter. She has had numerous exhibitions in Romania over her career, and her works were included in multiple group exhibitions internationally.
She is known for her acts of protest against the Ceaușescu regime, organising an exhibition at the famous Dalles Gallery in Bucharest that displayed self portraits, as a criticism towards the cult of personality, characteristic of the party ideology at the time. She is considered a founding figure of contemporary Christian Orthodox art in Romania, albeit using spiritual motifs often in unconventional ways.
Since the 1960s, Radu has had her works exhibited in solo shows in Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca, Timișoara, Târgu Mureș. She was part of the Romanian group presentation at the 1979 Venice Biennial.
