Nicodim Gallery Gallery in Bucharest
Floreasca · Contemporary programme
Editorial Profile
Nicodim Gallery operates across three cities — Bucharest, Los Angeles, and New York — sustaining a transcontinental program that bridges Romanian contemporary art with a wider international roster. The Bucharest space, located in the Floreasca area in the north of the city, anchors the gallery's Eastern European roots and represents a generation of artists associated with the post-1989 Romanian scene, including Adrian Ghenie, Ciprian Mureșan, Șerban Savu, Razvan Boar, and Cristian Răduță. Alongside these figures, the roster extends to international artists working across painting, sculpture, and installation, such as Nicola Samorì, Isabelle Albuquerque, Moffat Takadiwa, Katherina Olschbaur, Daniel Pitín, Hugo Wilson, and Zhou Yilun. Curatorially, the program leans toward figurative painting and image-based practices in dialogue with material experimentation, often foregrounding bodily, mythological, and political registers.
Within contemporary art in Bucharest, the gallery occupies a distinctive position, having helped channel international attention toward Romanian painting at a moment when artists from Cluj and Bucharest gained significant traction abroad. Its tri-city structure makes it one of the more outward-facing operations among galleries in Bucharest, connecting the local scene to circuits in Los Angeles and New York. Fair participation reflects this orientation, with regular presentations at Art Basel Miami Beach, The Armory Show, Frieze Los Angeles, Felix Art Fair, and Dallas Art Fair, alongside earlier appearances at FIAC Paris, ART021 Shanghai, and ZONAMACO Mexico City. The program continues to balance an established core of Romanian voices with younger international artists whose practices intersect with painting's contemporary expansion.
