Laurian Popa (b. 1980)

Laurian Popa was born in 1980 in Arad, where he lives and works. He is a Romanian visual artist, licensed in Painting at the Faculty of Arts and Design in Timisoara, Prof. Constantin Flondor.

The combination of compositions, drawings and objects created by Laurian Popa, forms the image of a material figurative, bold but not familiar. A figurative that rather translates into reality an object with an unusual identity, a processing of remnants of objects gathered and recomposed into another dimension. With an obsolete identity, broken from the usual context, the image of the objects becomes an exercise of decryption, assimilation, and recontextualization: a signal of the decadence of an "arranged" but real space.
