Grand Opening–Paths of Light
Solo Exhibition: Daniel Jones

It is as if each photograph is a memory, lingering closely next to others, of the many poignant moments Mr. Zupcu has known before and after leaving his native Romania in 1991. Somewhere in each of them, in the tight focus on the edge of paper, an egg balanced delicately, a solitary flower leaning from within a bottle, there is a sepia-toned look to the past, or perhaps it is the future coming into view.

His first serious investigation into the genre began in 1999 with a series entitled "Flowers", which was followed by numerous collections of photographs depicting bottles, fabrics, eggs and portraits. His latest project is entitled "Works on Paper." Mr. Zupcu prints and sepia-tones all of his own work.

Ion Zupcu's images are Romantic - a result, he says, of being raised in communist Romania. "There was no modern movement there in art," he explains. "We studied from the old masters." His sepia-toned still lifes, all shot in available light, are warm and intimate.

Since his first exhibition in 2000, Zupcu’s work has become part of many private collections throughout the world. His works are now part of significant collections in the United States and Romania:

Ialomita County Museum of Art, Romania
The Museum of Fine Arts- Houston, Texas
O' Melveny & Myers LLP Collection
Dayton Art Institute, Ohio
Dennos Museum Center, Michigan
The University of Michigan, Museum of Art
