Opening reception – Thursday, 4th July 2019, 7:00 PM
This year's month of July is dedicated to watercolors. On the 1st of July the exhibition of the Second International Triennial "The Spirit of watercolor" - Varna 2019 was opened and 375 artists from 64 countries who had participated in the competition were presented in Varna City gallery. The festival program of the Triennale will be held from 01.07 to 05.07.2019 and the exhibition of the selected works will be available until 31.07.2019 at Varna City gallery. Largo Art Gallery joined the watercolor program with a long-awaited show.
On July 4, we were pleased to present you the great master of the aquarelle technique- Ivan Dodov. He returned to Varna with his sixth solo exhibition in Largo Art Gallery and brought with his works a light summer mood and many "Tales from all around the world". You will enjoy the picturesque pulsing urban landscapes, the bright colors and spills of the paint in large spots, but also the precise and exquisite detail, craftily created with the tip of the brush.
In his paintings, the bulgarian aquarellist encapsulated the moods and emotions he experienced when he visited some of the most beautiful and picturesque cities in the world - Barcelona, Prague, Paris, the small towns of South France, the European capital of culture Matera in Italy and more, and more ... The noise of the crowd, the smell of spices and traditional dishes, the sun flowing between branches and roof tiles - all of this is depicted with light, ethereal, translucent spots and with the typical for Dodov observation and a sense of detail.
Come to Largo Art Gallery and enjoy the light, magical world of Ivan and hear (see) the many interesting stories and tales the artist has to tell about his travels around the world! The exhibition runs until 23.07.19
