Dumitru Gorzo

Dumitru Gorzo (b. 1975, Ieud, Maramureș) is one of the most active and prolific contemporary visual artists in Romania. A graduate of the National University of Arts in Bucharest (Painting), Gorzo is co-founder of the Rostopasca group and is known for his multidisciplinary practice combining painting, sculpture, installation and intervention in public space.

Much of his work alludes to political life and events in Romanian society; Gorzo has declared himself opposed to art that is isolated from real life.

He has exhibited widely both in Romania and internationally — in New York, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Basel, Brussels and Dublin — in galleries, museums and alternative spaces.
