Interested in the existential complementarity of objective and nonobjective forms of expression, Alexandru Crișan (b. Bucharest, Romania 1978) is a visual artist whose practice spans photography and painting. His “counter-professional” career in photography began in 2008; his paintings stand, for almost three decades, as intimate, borderline atavistic acts of divulgence. Assuming taxonomy is of consequence, he is partial to fine-art photography and Abstract Expressionism, and the eclectic nature of his projects is therefore a given. His photography results from compulsive visual disquisitions on impromptu portraiture, architectural equivocations, parametric manipulations, “hybrid storytelling” and evocative conservationism. His works have been presented in over 50 international exhibitions, published in over 100 peer-reviewed magazines and books, and have received over 500 international awards and nominations.
