“Bercea reflects surreal situations through studies of architecture and topography together with an application of bold colour”

Marius Bercea is a painter from Cluj, Romania. He finds his subject matter in the clash of aesthetics within the urban environment, an interest stemming from the shift he witnessed as Romania transitioned from Communism into a free market economy. Bercea broadened his focus onto the convergence of ideologies the world over, reflecting these surreal situations through studies of architecture and topography together with an application of bold colour.

Published to coincide with the opening of 'Time Can Space', Blain|Southern surveys four years of Marius Bercea’s career. The book features texts by Andrew Beradini and Heinz-Norbert Jocks, published in both English and German, alongside colour plates of paintings from 2014-18.
