His work often involves the manipulation of paint to create swirling, organic patterns that suggest motion and energy. In this piece, the application of oil paint results in marbled textures where colours bleed into one another, creating a sense of depth without traditional perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition relies on the interaction between primary and secondary hues. Deep reds dominate the visual field, contrasted against streaks of blue and grey. The black areas provide a grounding element, allowing the lighter pigments to appear as if they are suspended in a viscous medium. Nutiu often utilised techniques that allowed gravity and the physical properties of the paint to dictate the final outcome, rather than relying on controlled brushwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis approach aligns with the broader traditions of mid-twentieth-century abstraction, where the physical act of painting and the material qualities of the pigment take precedence over figurative representation. The lack of a clear horizon or subject matter encourages the viewer to focus on the interplay of texture and tone. The surface appears tactile, with the layered paint creating a sense of physical weight. By removing the constraints of representational imagery, Nutiu invites an engagement with the raw properties of the medium itself. This print captures the fluid nature of the original oil application, maintaining the visual tension between the chaotic movement of the colours and the structured boundaries of the canvas. It is a study in the balance of chance and intentionality, characteristic of the artist's later period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/blue-gray-violet-wheel-joseph-schillinger\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBlue, Gray, Violet Wheel - Joseph Schillinger — Joseph Schillinger\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/night-creatures-lee-krasner\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eNight Creatures - Lee Krasner — Lee Krasner\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Romul Nutiu","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58520378605903,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58520413897039,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58520413929807,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58520413962575,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58520413995343,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58520414028111,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58520414060879,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58520414093647,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58520414126415,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58520414159183,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58520414191951,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Dynamic-Universe-XXIV_Poster_CompositorV1_1786477448764.jpg?v=1787164840"},{"product_id":"modular-composition-iv-romul-nutiu","title":"Modular Composition IV - Romul Nutiu","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dynamic abstract work by Romanian artist Romul Nutiu, featuring a rhythmic arrangement of organic shapes in shades of blue, black, and orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRomul Nutiu was a significant figure in the Romanian post-war art scene, known for his exploration of abstract forms and spatial dynamics. Modular Composition IV displays his characteristic approach to the canvas, where organic shapes and geometric structures interact within a fluid, non-representational space. The work is defined by a series of rounded, cellular forms that appear to drift or collide across the surface, creating a sense of movement that defies a fixed perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette is dominated by various shades of blue, ranging from deep navy to bright cyan, which provides a cool, atmospheric foundation. Against this background, Nutiu introduces stark black shapes and occasional bursts of orange, which act as visual anchors. These contrasting elements disrupt the uniformity of the blue field, drawing the eye across the composition in a rhythmic, almost musical fashion. The application of paint is deliberate, with clear boundaries between the forms that suggest a structured, modular logic rather than purely spontaneous gesture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNutiu often engaged with the concept of the 'modular' in his work, treating individual shapes as units that could be rearranged or expanded. In this piece, the arrangement suggests an internal architecture, where the interplay of light and shadow within the painted forms creates a shallow depth. The composition avoids traditional centre-focused arrangements, instead spreading its visual weight across the entire frame. This approach invites the viewer to scan the surface, observing the relationships between the individual elements rather than searching for a singular subject.

In Blue Waterfall, the artist employs a heavy impasto technique, where layers of pigment are built up to create a sense of vertical movement. The composition is dominated by vertical striations of blue, white, and touches of green, which mimic the cascading motion of water while remaining firmly rooted in non-representational form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNutiu often worked with a palette that balanced cool tones against darker, grounding shadows. Here, the deep blacks and dark blues provide a contrast to the lighter, more fluid applications of white paint. This creates a sense of depth within the surface of the canvas. The brushwork is deliberate and energetic, reflecting the artist's interest in the raw materiality of oil paint. By avoiding precise detail, Nutiu allows the viewer to interpret the movement and rhythm of the work through the interaction of colour and texture alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece demonstrates the artist's focus on the expressive potential of the medium. Rather than attempting to depict a specific natural scene, Nutiu uses the title as a suggestion of the energy and flow present in the work. The result is a study in verticality and light, where the paint itself becomes the subject. His work is often associated with the broader European movements of the mid-twentieth century that sought to move away from figurative constraints, instead favouring a direct, visceral engagement with the canvas.

Jurnal VIII belongs to a series of works that function as visual diaries, capturing the artist's internal state through a combination of bold colour and tactile surface manipulation. The composition is defined by a chaotic interplay of organic shapes and rigid, linear elements that suggest a mechanical or structural undercurrent beneath the fluid paint application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe canvas is dominated by a high-chroma palette, where saturated oranges and reds create a sense of urgency and heat. Nutiu employs a variety of textures, ranging from smooth, flat areas of colour to thick, impasto-like sections that give the work a physical presence. A dark, vertical, column-like form on the left side acts as a visual anchor, contrasting with the more fragmented and dispersed shapes that occupy the centre of the frame.

He allowed the paint to dictate the direction of the work, resulting in a balance between controlled design and raw, expressive energy. The inclusion of small, key-like motifs and circular patterns adds a layer of mystery to the piece, hinting at a personal iconography that remains elusive. This work demonstrates the artist's ability to synthesise disparate visual languages into a cohesive, albeit complex, whole. It is a representative example of his later period, where the focus shifted towards a more deliberate arrangement of space and form, while maintaining the emotional intensity characteristic of his earlier output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/vav-morris-louis\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eVAV - Morris Louis — Morris Louis\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/untitled-35-14-balcomb-greene\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (35-14) - Balcomb Greene — Balcomb Greene\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Romul Nutiu","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58521000771919,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58521035309391,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58521035342159,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58521035374927,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58521035407695,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58521035440463,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58521035473231,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58521035505999,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58521035538767,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58521035571535,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58521035604303,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Jurnal-VIII_Poster_CompositorV1_1786482046763.jpg?v=1787172721"},{"product_id":"telamon-in-motion-romul-nutiu","title":"Telamon in Motion - Romul Nutiu","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dynamic abstract composition by Romanian artist Romul Nutiu, featuring bold blue fields, rhythmic black lines, and contrasting orange accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRomul Nutiu, a significant figure in Romanian post-war art, developed a distinct approach to abstraction that prioritised the physical act of painting. In 'Telamon in Motion', the artist engages with the concept of the telamon, a structural support figure in classical architecture, by translating its implied strength and verticality into a series of fluid, non-representational forms. The composition avoids traditional perspective, opting instead for a layered arrangement of colour fields and gestural marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is defined by a bold palette, where saturated blues dominate the upper register, contrasted against earthy tones and sharp accents of orange and green. Nutiu employs a rhythmic application of paint, where black, calligraphic lines weave through the colour blocks, suggesting movement and structural tension. These lines do not merely outline shapes, they act as independent forces that guide the viewer across the surface of the canvas. The interplay between the solid, opaque blocks of colour and the more spontaneous, linear elements creates a sense of kinetic energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNutiu often experimented with the boundaries of the canvas, and this piece reflects his interest in the relationship between the painted image and the physical space it occupies.

The work functions as a study in equilibrium, where the weight of the blue masses is countered by the lighter, more fragmented sections below.

The colour palette is dominated by warm, earthy tones, specifically deep oranges and ochres, which are balanced by cooler greys and whites. This interplay of colour creates a sense of depth, drawing the viewer into the layered textures of the paint.

This print captures the texture and depth of the original oil application, ensuring the energy of the artist's process remains visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/sunshine-after-rain-helen-frankenthaler\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSunshine After Rain - Helen Frankenthaler — Helen Frankenthaler\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/untitled-35-14-balcomb-greene\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (35-14) - Balcomb Greene — Balcomb Greene\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Romul Nutiu","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58526054351183,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58526072471887,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58526072504655,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58526072537423,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58526072570191,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58526072602959,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58526072635727,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58526072668495,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58526072701263,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58526072734031,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58526072766799,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Blue-Tree-III_Poster_CompositorV1_1786485850680.jpg?v=1787228901"},{"product_id":"the-vortex-romul-nutiu","title":"The Vortex - Romul Nutiu","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dynamic abstract composition by Romanian artist Romul Nutiu, featuring swirling impasto textures and a cool-toned palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRomul Nutiu, a significant figure in Romanian post-war art, developed a distinct approach to abstraction that prioritised the physical application of paint. In this work, The Vortex, the artist employs a gestural technique, where thick impasto and sweeping brushwork create a sense of kinetic energy. The composition is organised around a central, circular motif that appears to draw the surrounding colour fields into its orbit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNutiu often utilised a palette dominated by cool tones, including various shades of blue, green, and white, which are punctuated by flashes of yellow and darker accents. The application of paint is varied, ranging from thin, translucent washes to heavy, sculptural ridges that catch the light. This textural diversity encourages the viewer to observe the surface of the canvas as a physical object rather than a window into a depicted space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis practice was influenced by the broader European movements of the mid-twentieth century, yet he maintained a personal vocabulary of form. The swirling patterns in this piece suggest movement and atmospheric turbulence, reflecting his interest in the dynamics of natural forces. By avoiding representational imagery, Nutiu allows the interaction of colour and texture to dictate the viewer's experience. The work is framed by a distinct border, which contains the chaotic energy of the central vortex, providing a structured boundary for the otherwise fluid forms. This piece represents his mature style, where the balance between controlled composition and spontaneous mark-making is clearly articulated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/sunshine-after-rain-helen-frankenthaler\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSunshine After Rain - Helen Frankenthaler — Helen Frankenthaler\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/untitled-35-14-balcomb-greene\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eUntitled (35-14) - Balcomb Greene — Balcomb Greene\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Romul Nutiu","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58526330159439,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58526376395087,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58526376427855,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58526376460623,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58526376493391,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58526376526159,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58526376558927,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58526376591695,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58526376624463,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58526376657231,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58526376689999,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Vortex_Poster_CompositorV1_1786487957240.jpg?v=1787230057"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/en-nz\/collections\/romul-nutiu.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
