BIOGRAPHY

Victor Man was born in 1974 in Cluj, Romania. He lives and works in Cluj and Berlin. While his oeuvre is charged with personal memories, magic meaning, and references to art history, the origins of his motifs do not play a role. Man, who lives in Berlin and Cluj, draws on various sources to create a surprisingly contemporary and yet visionary art. Its power derives from its defiance of logical interpretation. In a global culture in which everything is explained and made visible, this noncompliance opens up individual artistic freedom.

Solo exhibitions include Deutsche Bank Kunsthalle, Berlin (2014); Zacheta National Gallery of Art, Warsaw (2014); Haus der Kunst, Munich (2014); Villa Medici, Rome (2013); The Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art, Luxembourg (2012); Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam (2009); Hayward Gallery Project Space, London (2009), Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam (2009); Centre international d'art et du paysage de l'ile de Vassiviere (2009); IKON Gallery, Birmingham (2008) and Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Bergamo (2008).

Victor Man is represented by Galeria Plan B, Cluj and Berlin; Gladstone Gallery, New York; Blum & Poe, Los Angeles; Galerie Neu, Berlin and  Galeria Zero, Milan.
