To The Artworks

group exhibition of paintings, graphics and sculpture

01 - 31 August 2024

Vernissage: Thursday, 01 August 2024 | 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM

The month of August has arrived, bringing with it more heat, flickering mist, sun kisses and the scent of sea foam. For the residents and guests of the city of Varna, these hot summer days and nights are a long-awaited time of the year. Every walk on the beach, every sunset and every meeting with friends outdoors is accompanied by high temperatures that will undoubtedly be mentioned for a long time to come. But sometimes even the biggest lovers of the summer season need a break. And so, walking along the charming alleyways of the Greek neighbourhood, where time seems to have frozen, they begin to wander confusedly between the old houses and chapels (the Greek neighbourhood is famous for the fact that it is easy to get lost in its narrow streets). With eyelids heavy from the heat and mouths thirsty for a cool sip, they pass by the Roman Baths and suddenly find themselves in an oasis. A glass house of contemporary art that invites them to open the door and immerse themselves in the world of painting, graphics, sculpture, drawing... A rich selection of works created by a variety of artists in a variety of styles with a variety of materials. There they find coolness, aesthetic delight and an opportunity to learn about some of the most established names on the Bulgarian art scene. The oasis is Largo Gallery.

Traditionally, the gallery dedicates a collective exhibition to the summer season every year. This year, we will present the sixth exhibition under the motto "Summer walk on the Largo", in which the works of authors who have proven themselves to be some of the most talented Bulgarian artists will be exhibited. The exposition will delight connoisseurs with works by some authors who have left us, such as Liliana Ruseva, Stoyan Tsanev and Peter Mitchev-Pedro, as well as contemporary creative artists such as the artists from Varna Georgi Lechev, Prof. Stoimen Stoilov, Vasil Vasilev, Petyo Marinov, Georgi Yordanov, Milen Marinov, Ventsislav Markov, Svetlin Nenov, the Plovdiv artists Valeri Tsenov, Alexander Dimitrov, Yuli Shumarev, Angel Gescheff, Angel Gerdzhikov, Atanas Kolev, Rumyana Rusinova and Julian Jordanov from Sofia, Hristo Kralev from Dobrich, Tsvetan Kazandzhiev from Yambol and the Burgas artistic duo Nikolai Angelov-Gary and Elisaveta Angelova.

The exhibition, which will be available in HALL 2 of the gallery throughout the month of August, includes works from two private collections, as well as new works sent especially by the authors for the group exhibition at Largo. We will see a canvas depicting an exquisite naked female body, with which we will present for the first time in "Largo" the famous artist Liliana Ruseva, a graphic from 1987 by the master Stoyan Tsanev, five picturesque canvases with which we pay tribute to the recently departed Peter Mitchev- Pedro. Eight magnificent drawings and two paintings by Georgi Lechev, one watercolor composition by Prof. Stoimen Stoilov, three paintings by Vasil Vasilev, six old graphics by the famous Petyo Marinov, two new canvases by Georgi Yordanov, three old works by Milen Marinov, two new and two old paintings by Svetlin Nenov, a playful metal sculpture by Ventsislav Markov. The authors Rumyana Rusinova, Valeri Tsenov, Angel Gerdzhikov, Yuli Shumarev, Nikolai Angelov-Gary and Elisaveta Angelova delight us with one work each. Atanas Kolev will show the Varna audience four kinetic stainless steel sculptures that everyone will be able to interact with. Alexander Dimitrov and Angel Gescheff are also presented with three bright paintings each, and we will see two old lithographs, dated in 2003, by the outstanding graphic artist Julian Jordanov. Tsvetan Kazandzhiev participates with five watercolors, and from the brush virtuoso Hristo Kralev, we will see and compare an old work with three new paintings, executed in oil and woodcut.

We invite you on a journey through the past and the present in HALL 2 of the Largo Gallery. The exhibition "Summer walk on the Largo 2024" will be opened with a vernissage on 01.08 from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM and will be available to visitors until the end of August. We promise you that the "walk" will be inspiring, exciting, enriching and last but not least - cool and refreshing. Treat yourself to this delight of the senses and come to 8 Han Krum Street, Varna.
