2R Art visit Romania

2R Art have recently returned from a very successful trip to Romania, in which we spent time meeting some of the country’s leading artists in both Bucharest and Bistrita. We were lucky enough to be invited to visit a number of the artists’ studios and attend the opening of an exhibition at Mogosoaia Palace featuring work by Mircea Roman and Dorel Petrehus. Roman’s work was also on display in Bistrita in the form of a large sculptural installation titled ‘Disorient Express’.

 A key feature of the visit was the chance to meet with leading ministers from the Romanian Government regarding a collaboration to host various Romanian art exhibitions in London during 2009. We hope to transport a number of artists’ work to the UK to feature in exhibitions and showcases. Artists will include Andre and Florin Ciubotaru, Dorel Petrehus, Gheorghe Anghel, Gheorghe Marcu, Marcel Lupse, Mircea Roman, Petru Lucaci, Teodor Moraru and Victoria and Marian Zidaru.

 Information about, and examples of, these artists’ work  can be found under the ‘Artists’ section of the website. We will be adding more Romanian based artists over the coming weeks.
