‘’These paper constructions of Zupcu originate with the concept of abstraction as both a verb and noun. The process demands a reductive reasoning of a three-dimensional object followed by manipulation into an illusion of space, light and shadow.’’
— Black and White Magazine
GALLERY REPRESENTATION:
‘’Ion Zupcu gorgeous photographs at Miller Block Galley look more like abstract drawings or etchings. Crisp edges face us, with the rest of the models falling away in shadowy blurs’’
— Boston Globe
‘’ ZUPCU b/w photographs of cubes may look like a design student’s homework, but there’s something satisfying about their simplicity and buoyancy. Teasing minimalism, he makes pictures of small painted wooden blocks that treat them as sculpture (tiny Judds) and textured surfaces ( miniature Rymans).’’
