Marius Bercea
Artist
Marius Bercea
B.1979, Romanian/Omani

Marius Bercea’s paintings draw on both memory and myth. For the last two decades, Bercea has been making large-scale oil paintings which tussle out the social and psychological aftereffects of the Romanian Revolution. Examining the fallout of the Iron curtain and the subsequent rise of capitalism in his home country, Bercea tracks both the public and private cultural shifts this political upheaval continues to bring about. Working with his signature fluid brushstrokes, charged colour palette and impasto texture, Bercea has painted urban imposing architectural scenes; he has tenderly rendered quieter pastoral tableaux and his portraits range from highly stylized vignettes in his studio, to more intimate, vulnerable portrayals of his immediate circle. Although the subject matter and tone of his paintings noticeable shifts with each body of work, this sense of deep cultural inspection remains. Echoing the diverse content of his paintings, Bercea has a wide plethora of sources he draws on for inspiration. The theatrical film sets of Derek Jarman left an imprint on the artist, as did the Nabi painters of fin de siècle Paris, Blake Edward’s 1968 filmic farce The Party and the compositional traits of Dutch painting. These disparate references surface in Bercea’s cacophonous visual language, as he continues to trace the intricacies of contemporary Romania. ...

Bogotá, New York City

Instituto de Vision is a Bogotá and New York based gallery for conceptual practices. Their mission is to investigate conceptual discourses that have been neglected by the official Latin American art canon.

Through a parallel program, they represent some of the most relevant contemporary practices from Colombia, Chile, North America, Venezuela, and others. Directed by three women, Instituto de Vision gives special attention to female voices, queer theories, environmental activism, the conflicts of migration, and other critical positions that challenge the established order. Using the international art scene as a platform, they are committed to give visibility and expand the work of artists that reveal critical realities and raise important questions for these contemporary subjects. ...
