Serban Ionescu was born in Romania in 1984. He earned a Bachelor of Architecture from the Pratt Institute and served as an adjunct professor at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's School of Architecture from 2010 to 2016. Drawing from these experiences and achievements, he continues to create a diverse range of works encompassing sculpture, painting, design, and architecture. Ionescu has held solo exhibitions at R & Company and Larrie Gallery in New York, as well as at Everyday Gallery in Antwerp, Belgium. Known for his outdoor sculptures, his distinctive lines stem from an intensive drawing practice and are characterized by vibrant colors and cartoon-like gestures. His series of large-scale steel and aluminum structures, such as "Chapel For An Apple," "Tower For An Hour," and "Smokey," represent his return to post-architecture. Recently, he completed his first public structure, "Room For A Shroom," standing 33 feet tall in Zonhoven, Belgium, which has garnered significant attention.
