Marcel Bunea
Marcel Bunea, born in 1952, in Cisnadie, Sibiu (Romania) and is a graduate of The Institute of Fine Arts “Nicolae Grigorescu”, Bucharest (Romania). Currently he is PhD Professor and Head of the Painting Department at The National Fine Arts University, Bucharest.
The painting of Marcel Bunea is characterized by the thrift of resources of a strictly geometrical abstractionism, defined by strong vanishing lines dominating the composition. The impenetrable density of the acrylic paint reflects the sharp dynamism of the painterly gesture, which is defined by the straight line and flat brushstroke. ©Ruxandra Demetrescu
