Ion Zupcu Art
Romanian, b. 1960
Ion Zupcu was born in Romania in 1960 and studied photography in Bucharest in the early 1980s. After moving to the United States in 1991, his introduction to the work of classic American photographers like Ansel Adams made him even more passionate about photography, and he devoted whatever time he had available to developing his skills as a photographer and printer. While initially focused on landscape, Zupcu became interested in still-life photography in the late 1990s. He has developed a number of distinct bodies of work featuring, among other things, bottles, fabrics, eggs and folded paper. While beautiful in their presentation of objects and forms, Zupcu is fascinated more by the role that his photographs play for him as markers in time. His images serve as journal entries; they tell him who he was and what he was doing at the time he took the photograph. For him they are essential components in constructing his memories and thereby his sense of identity.
Zupcu has exhibited his photographs nationally and internationally, and his work has been published in a number of publications, including B&W Magazine and Lens Work. His photographs are now represented in several public and private collections including the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Detroit Institute of Art, The University of Michigan Museum of Art, the Dayton Art Institute, and the Ialomita County Museum of Art, Romania.

Ion Zupcu writes: “The houses showcased in this series illustrate the spirit and evolution of common houses found throughout North American neighborhoods from the past four centuries. They represent a range of homes from Folk Houses to McMansions. The development of these styles is a reflection of our ever-changing taste and sensibility.
"The photographs in ‘American Homes’ are the result of my passion and investigation for architecture, structure, and light. My experience with three-dimensional forms has created a fluid transition into a deeper understanding of the history and design of American homes.
"Through a collaborative process, architectural models were carefully selected, designed, and constructed for these photographs with architect Tagore Hernandez. During the iterative processing beginning with detailed models, I became aware that what captivated me the most about domestic homes was their outline and form. Initial detail models were stripped down, recreated, and presented in a way that allowed their sculptural forms to emerge.
"All the houses are put on the stage before the public. These houses are not landmarks, they are icons of the places in which we sleep, eat, and raise our families. I have lived with my wife and daughter in a Shed Modern home for the past seven years in Upstate New York.”
Ion Zupcu first explored his interest in photography by working in a studio in Romania when he was a young man. A few years later, after getting married and having his first child, Zupcu found himself spending long hours caring for his daughter. With a desire to continue pursuing his interest in photography, he began shooting still-life compositions at home with vases and flowers. It was during this time that he also began researching the work of early 20th-century Modernist photographers in depth, which ultimately influenced his aesthetic a great deal.
In 1991 Zupcu moved to New York City to start a new life for himself. His first job was driving a yellow taxi...
