Description

Ion B is a 62 year-old homeless man living in Bucharest. In the 70s he started creating collages that he refers to as "my films". In 2008, a young gallery owner heard by chance about Ion and his work. The homeless man showed him a collection of old suitcases filled with almost 1000 collages he had made between the 70s and the 90s. Only one year later, in 2009, Ion has become one of the most important contemporary Romanian artists. This is the story of a genuine artist living on the edge of society, creating art in its purest form.
