Mircea Suciu was born in 1978 in Baia Mare (Romania), and he lives and works in Cluj (Romania).
Mircea Suciu works with different materials such as acrylic, oil and often combines them with monoprint techniques. For a long time his works were based on images he found in newspapers, magazines and other media.
The themes he choses are mainly socio-political and psychological orientated.The artist has a particular interest in the way the individual appropriates the behaviour of the mass during manifestations and therefore loses his own identity.
Recently elements, such as props, curtains, covered objects and people struggling with heavy entities, like big balloons have appeared in his new works. For Mircea Suciu the process is at least equally important as the final image. He likes to work in series in order to exhaust the imagery and to transform them in a way that the viewer gets different perspectives on a certain topic.
Work by Mircea Suciu has been on view in several group exhibitions amongst ‘Scènes Roumaines’ at Espace Louis Vuitton in Paris (FR), ‘Hybride’ at Fondation Francès in Senlis (FR), ‘Sex, Money and Power’ at Maison Particulière in Brussels (BE), ‘Nightfall – New tendencies in Figurative Painting’ at MODEM Center for Modern and Contemporary Art in Debrecen (HU), ‘European Travellers’ at Mucsarnok Kunsthalle in Budapest (HU), the 4th Prague Biennale and the 11th Istanbul Biennial.
