Veron Urdarianu

534 W 26th St Veron Urdarianu La Strada (2004) |
Urdarianu’s work offers insight into the relationships between painting, sculpture and architecture. Often beginning with free-hand sketches of imagined architectural structures, Urdarianu creates sculptures made of wood, plastic and metal with moveable parts. These complex, small-scale works have doors that open and shut and roofs and floors that shift. Urdarianu’s paintings often have a three-dimensional element as well. His canvases, some of which use pieces of cardboard and paper to provide structure, at times appear as though they have been cast. Urdarianu uses a muted palette conveying the sense that time has passed over the canvas. This suggestion that time has elapsed is further articulated by Urdarianu’s use of multiple viewpoints conflated together on the canvas.
Urdarianu was born in 1951 in Bucharest, Romania, and began painting in the 1960s. He moved to Amsterdam in the 1970s where he studied sculpture at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie. His work has been included in various group and solo exhibitions in the Netherlands. In 2005 he was included in “Painting Surface Space," a major exhibition at the Goetz Collection, Munich and the subject of an essay by Rudi Fuchs in the accompanying catalogue. In 2006, the artist had solo exhibitions at Arndt & Partner, Berlin and Arndt & Partner, Zurich. Urdarianu is represented by Arndt & Partner, Berlin.
