Serban
Ionescu
Born in Romania, raised in New York City, Serban Ionescu blurs the boundary between sculpture and design into a line one can inhabit. Irrupting primarily from the automatic act of drawing, his loose instinctual line and his vibrant pops of color expand into sculptural collages of constantly shifting scale. Whether in works of design, functional art, sculpture or Architecture, his distinctive style and cartoonish gestures permeate the works with a unique language of anthropomorphic form. These pet like objects and structures become entities that playfully collapse gesture into being. Impulse into experience. For the viewer to hold and for the visitor to explore. His works have been exhibited at Safe Gallery, Larrie NYC and published in New York Times, Architectural Digest, Dwell Magazine, New York Magazine and Apartamento. Currently, Serban has presented his first solo show with R & Company in NYC and just completed his largest scale project “Chapel for an Apple” an outdoor 20 foot tall Architectural folly erected in Hudson, NY.
