Description
Vasile Grigore was a Modernist Romanian painter, as well as a university lecturer and an art collector. He was part of the art avant-garde of the 1970s in Romania. Through an expressive painting with clear lines and carefully balanced contrasts, he managed to capture the reality of a personal vision in images that create a dialogue between himself and the surrounding world. The colour patch served as an important element in his paintings by creating a shape and defining it, the result being a harmonious oscillation between abstraction and figuration. The works of Vasile Grigore are present in various museums, art institutions and in private collections in Romania and internationally. He was part of exhibitions in Prague, Köln, Freiburg, Ruse, Novi-Sad, Zagreb, London, Belgrade, Talin, Athens, Lima, Buenos Aires and Teheran, among several others during his career. He was awarded the Frederic and Cecilia Cuțescu Storck Scholarship and received several art prizes, including the Award for Belle Arts in Szczecin, Poland, The Critics Prize of the Romanian Artists Guild, the Prize of the Caravaggio Cultural Centre in Italy.
