Biography
Often the image doesn't reveal itself immediately; that's why I agree with the theory that the image gives you as much as you give it.
Ioana Gorzo (b. 1986, Ieud) lives and works in Bucharest and New York, she has a degree from the Faculty of the Arts, Photo-Video, at the National University of the Arts, Bucharest, Romania, in 2009, and a masters in painting at the Rome Academy of Fine Arts, in Italy, in 20??. Gorzo's works have been shown in solo and group exhibitions in Romania, Germany, Italy, and the USA.

 

In Ioana Gorzo's work, drawing and painting are the subterfuge of a more complex process of poetically reflecting on nature's profound simplicity, on the human condition, and on the austerity of the urban landscape, while focusing her practice on key themes, such as light and memory.

 

While painting figures as a fundamental axis in Gorzo's work, in essence, it serves a pivot point and a touchstone toward an almost performative process of othering and dissolving the conventional image. The subjects she represents are often run through a visualization process that gradually, coldly pulls away, step by step, similar to forgetting or the passing of time. What begins as visible slowly becomes an apparent impression, an emotional reminisce, leaving behind only the sensation of light and transparence.

 

Resorting to a wide range of technical solutions, home-grown innovations, and to mixed media and forms constructing an image, Gorzo's works develop into a series of witnesses to a radical transition from the figurative to the abstract, from present to apparent, from illusory to concrete.
