George IVANCIU
Romania

(1951 - 2024)
In this age of technology, when mankind manages, constantly, to threaten the fragility of nature, it is both refreshing and appealing to discover an artist who affectionately acknowledges the delicate structures of nature. Georges Ivanciu paints a microcosm that we rarely stop to notice. His works show a love for plants and animals with the fantasy necessary to bring us into their world. Georges is well versed in the history of art. He grew up in Bucharest surrounded by Byzantine art and he was influenced by this both spiritually and stylistically. Many of his works reflect this intimacy with the spiritual latitude of Romanian Folklore, and its religious traditions. His experience with the techniques of tapestry and icons have contributed to an interesting and unique approach. The paint weaves his fantasies in a textural and delicate manner, while his colors flow constantly across his canvas, showing careful attention to composition. George Ivanciu shows us a world where mankind’s hidden emotions are entangled with the delicacy and beauty which is Nature.
