Pencil
Graphite lines laid down fast and loose, then worked back into until the drawing finds its own weather.

Gheorghe
Abstract, imaginary lines that open into expansive scenes, built with pencil, paint and whatever material the idea asks for.
Mediums
One line, three ways in
Every piece starts as the same restless line. What it becomes depends on what Gheorghe picks up next: a pencil, a brush or a piece of the world.
Paint
Broad cobalt sweeps and dry-brush edges. The same line, only now it carries colour and weight.
Acrylic · oil · pigmentMaterials
Torn paper, thread, board and resin. Found surfaces that let a line leave the page.

Selected works
Drawings, paintings and material pieces from the last three years, plus one drawing that never stops being made.
Live
I never know where a line wants to go. I follow it until it shows me a place that doesn't exist yet.
About
The artist behind the line
Gheorghe draws with abstract, imaginary lines that open up into expansive, almost architectural presentations.
He moves between pencil, paint and found materials without changing his voice. A graphite study can turn into a cobalt canvas, and a canvas can grow paper, thread and resin. The city outside his window shows up in the work as rhythm and height, never as a picture of itself.
He takes on a small number of commissions each year for homes, offices and public spaces.
