Traian Chereches

Traian Cherecheș is a visual artist living and working between Paris and Bucharest. By examining the limits between natural exploration and extraction, his investigation into the current age of extinction surfaces out powerful, symbolic approaches to the body, volcano, and ritual. His work emerges from an interdisciplinary process using drawing, painting, sculpture, and sound to translate concerns about the multiple transformations in today’s world.

In 2019 he participated in the 64th edition of Salon de Montrouge, Paris. His tracks and experimental soundscapes have been released on labels such as Archipel, Fabric Records London, and Cocoon Recordings. Recent exhibitions include Gesturing towards Solitude, Hallucinarium Gallery, Bucharest (2019) and Lvcis et Umbre with sound compositions written by Radu Bodiu (2019). Currently, he is working on a collaboration for an experimental poetry publication and exhibition with poet, philosopher, and translator Bogdan Ghiu and curator Maria Rus Bojan.
