Ivan Gallery is pleased to invite you on Thursday, October 9, between 7:00 and 9:00 PM, to the opening of the solo exhibition Roman Cotoșman (b. 1935, Jimbolia - d. 2006, Philadelphia), organized by Ivan Gallery in collaboration with Paul Neagu Estate UK and Paul Neagu Estate RO. The exhibition features works by the artist from the 1980s–1990s. Roman Cotoșman is a key figure of experimental, minimalist, and conceptual art, and a defining presence within the neo-avant-garde. A founding member of the group 1.1.1., Roman Cotoșman was a promoter of interdisciplinary visual thinking, situated at the intersection of art, science, and technology. Some of the works on display have previously been presented by Galeria 3/4. Roman Cotoșman is a central figure in experimental, minimalist, and conceptual art and a defining presence in the neo-avant-garde. A founding member of the 1.1.1. group, Roman Cotoșman promoted interdisciplinary visual thinking, placing himself at the intersection of art, science, and technology. Some of the works on display were previously presented in 1996 at the 3/4 Gallery in Bucharest. By investigating geometric language, visual perception, and modular structures, Roman Cotoșman developed a systematic and analytical approach. His interdisciplinary practice combines the exact sciences with the visual arts and is expressed in works related to the kinetic, op-art, constructivist, and minimalist traditions. He also showed an early interest in conceptualism, where idea, process, and structure become essential components of artistic expression.
