Laurentiu Dimisca | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Laurentiu Dimisca
  • Romania
Laurentiu grew up in Romania under the communist regime. Sensitivity and an overwhelming need for freedom pushed him towards artistic expression. He studied art from an early age up until his PhD in painting (University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca). In 2000 he began exhibiting in Romania and abroad.\n The artist is part of the ‘New Figurative’, a movement between abstraction and figurative narrative, between ""art brut"" and ""Contemporary Art"". His paintings are narratives, showing the internalized feelings that torment the artist.\n Laurentiu is spontaneous in his ideas and the stories he tells. His extensive learning is inspiration for him; mythology and the popular stories of his childhood and his country are revisited. He paints in acrylics with the fury of a warrior, exultant and with a very physical engagement.\n He is audacious with colours, playing with them and willingly heightening them in order to force himself to harmonise the painting. Coloured collages recall colourful stained glass and the faces of Eastern Christian rites, which lend to the sanctification of his work. Yet it is a secular work, even at times tending to the erotic. He can easily switch from a religious icon to an erotic scene. Both are charged with tenderness and love.\n The artist re-creates a dreamlike world where the symbols of the heart and Cupid are ubiquitous. It is a perpetual hymn to love, a call to fight against the drought of the heart. The proliferation of details brings about a flurry of emotions, and his work is loaded with an optimism that is essential for the development of his art.\n In search of a universal language, he hesitates between art, ""madness"" and humour. But Laurentiu is not at the end of his quest; he is a doctoral student in ‘art brut’ at the Cluj-Napoca School of Fine Arts (Romania).
