I am pleased to announce my first solo exhibition with GAEP in Bucharest.

This series embodies my commitment to artistic investigation, offering an immersive look into culinary environments and exploring the intersection between art and culinary experiences. I look forward to welcoming you on for the reception on Friday, 19 July | 6:00 – 10:00 PM, 8 Giuseppe Garibaldi Street, Bucharest.

Graduate Curated (Group Show)
MARe - Museum of Recent Art, Bucharest, Romania
9 February 2024 - 20 May 2024
'Cei Noi / Graduate Curated is also a first for MARe/Museum of Recent Art, which, in its first five years since its founding, systematically showcased dozens upon dozens of established names in post-war Romanian art. Previous thematic exhibitions, covering topics significant to visual culture and national history (ranging from the image of the feminine ideal to the representation of sports, the city, or agriculture in Romanian art), never considered generational criteria.'

Fabulating About a Gelato Machine (Group Show)
Art Museum Brasov, Brasov, Romania
10 November 2023 - 3 March 2024
'We started the exhibition by keeping in mind the book Slices of Life by Elia Romanelli, Piero Vereni, and Ottavia Castellina. All the exhibiting artists described a personal preference or a detail of their lives that had an impact on their artistic practice, either in its development or in the choice of the studied subjects. The works vary from a statistical viewpoint on living to a particular understanding of life and how one is perceived.'

Il Pane è la Vita (Solo Show)

La cosa che mi piace di più nella vita è il mangiare. Con queste scene voglio far vedere che esistono luoghi speciali per i misfits che vivono per il cibo

DIPLOMA SHOW 2022 (Group Show)
Combinatul Fondului Plastic, Bucharest, Romania
7 - 16 October 2022
The paintings that compose this artistic project represent imaginary scenes generated by my urban wanderings. The proposed universe supports alternative scenarios projected by the artist on the idea of the city as a palimpsestic entity and invites endless participatory commentary.
Graduation Highlights 2022 (Group Show)
Borderline Art Space, Iasi, Romania
14 July - 25 August 2022
'Adrian Cojocaru, a painting graduate under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Mihai Tarași, has depicted individuals and places that captured his attention during his wanderings. Personal experiences, a keen sense of observation, and the artist's imagination are the tools that forge urban landscapes brought together in this project.'
