Art, Dan Colcer

DAN COLCER

Romanian artist, born in Hunedoara, Transylvania in 1976 and established in United States in since 2006. 1999-2000 - Cairo University, Department of Archaeology, Cairo - Egypt.
1994-1999 - University of Arts, Department of Ceramics, Cluj-Napoca - Romania. He has exhibited in many  group shows in Romania, America and many other countries. Exhibited in  Art Festivals, Art Camps around the world.
A Member of Romanian Artists Union since 2000 Work is hung in  museums and private collections in Sweden, Holland, Hungary, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Romania, France, United States... This man is a prolific worker, he produces photography, ceramics, graphic arts, graphic design, web design, experience-performance arts, installation, murals, and of course PAINTINGS..............as shown here. These paintings are almost, but not quite, cartoonish, or have a comic book look about them. On the surface many of them seem bright, colourful and pleasing to they eye. On closer inspection they feel dark and brutal. I think this man is talented and produces work that is not easily defined.
See more of his collection of paintings, ceramics and photographs here

delete reply nemo4sun wrote on Oct 17, '10 that one struck me also and the one above it i love his coloring like we were saying on the rolling stone piece ~ maybe my taste is stuck in the 60's and early 70's lol :)

It's less figurative and more abstract than the others.
