PAVEL GROSU
Pavel Grosu (born 1991, Republic of Moldova) lives and works in Cluj Napoca, Romania. His paintings belong to the so-called “School of Cluj”, a young generation of artists who have flourished in the Fabrica de Pensule in Cluj-Napoca. Grosu’s approach is characterized mostly by a preference evocative for figurativeness and vague historical or social references, with an emphasis on technical quality. His paintings often seem surrealistic in their combination of elements and, despite their colourful palette, are often characterised by a latent doomsday atmosphere.

Pavel Grosu (nato in Moldavia nel 1991) vive e lavora a Cluj-Napoca, Romania. I suoi dipinti appartengono alla cosiddetta "Scuola di Cluj", una giovane generazione di artisti appartenenti alla Fabrica de Pensule di Cluj-Napoca, centro culturale conosciuto internazionalmente. L'approccio di Grosu è caratterizzato in particolare dall’opzione del registro figurativo, dalla preferenza per le citazioni storico sociali, e dall’enfasi sulla qualità tecnica delle opere, intese anzitutto come oggetti estetici. I sue tele sembrano spesso surrealistiche nella loro combinazione di elementi e, nonostante la tavolozza accesa, spesso celano un’atmosfera apocalittica.

Pavel Grosu (geb. 1991, Moldawien) lebt und arbeitet in Cluj Napoca, Rumänien. Grosus Gemälde gehören zur so genannten "School of Cluj", einer jungen Künstlergeneration, die sich in der Fabrica de Pensule in Cluj-Napoca bildete. Der Ansatz von Grosu zeichnet sich vor allem durch eine Präferenz für die Figürlichkeit und vage historische oder soziale Bezüge aus, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf technischer Qualität liegt. Die Bilder wirken in ihrer Elementkombination oft surrealistisch und sind trotz ihrer bunten Farbpalette oft von einer latenten Weltuntergangsstimmung gepräg
