Mircea Suciu

MIRCEA SUCIU, born in 1978 in Baia Mare (RO), lives and works in Cluj-Napoca (RO). Through the seemingly eclectic choice of his images, he strives to achieve iconicity in a world dominated by a multitude of images. Anxiety, violence and oppression have always been important themes in Suciu’s work. He grew up under a Communist dictatorship, which led him to take an interest in how images work, how they can be manipulated.
Mircea Suciu has had solo exhibitions at /SAC Malmaison (Bucharest) and the Mnac National Museum of Contemporary Art (Bucharest). He has taken part in several biennials and triennials, including the Bruges Triennial, the 11th Istanbul Biennial and the 4th Prague Biennial in 2009, the 10th Gwangju Biennial in South Korea in 2014 and the 2nd Art Encounters Biennial in Timisoara in 2017. His work has been shown in group exhibitions at the MARe Museum of Recent Art (Bucharest), Kunstmuseum Bochum, Weserburg Museum (Bremen), Museum Beelden aan Zee (The Hague), Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, Espace Louis Vuitton (Paris), Fondation Francès (Senlis), Maison Particulière (Brussels), MODEM Center for Modern and Contemporary Art (Debrecen) and Budapest Hall of Art, (Hungary).
