Biography
Radu Comșa is a Romanian contemporary artist residing and working in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Comșa is a visual artist creating objects as a transcript from his ideas, working in painting, printmaking, sculpture and installation.
Born in 1975 in Sibiu, Romania, his most recent work is marked by geometric shapes and primary colours implementing a conceptual approach to the creative process of painting. As a result, a radical and systematic abstraction emerges and is translated – or rather transcribed – into these artistic object hovering between painting and sculpture.
