Forgotten landscapes

To The Artworks

painting exhibition by Milcho Talev
25 April – 16 May 2024
Opening - Thursday, April 25, 2024, 6:30 p.m

From April 25, 2024, Largo Gallery will present Milcho Talev for the first time with a solo exhibition in Varna. The exposition is called "Forgotten Landscapes" and presents about 20 paintings, most of them created especially for his presentation in Varna.

Prof. Dr. Ivan Marazov says about the artist's work: "With Milcho Talev, the pictorial amalgam is not "poured", but built. That is why the composition of the picture is always strict, not to say – harsh. But the geometric logic in the organization of the canvas does not disturb the feeling of an organic pulse in the rhythm of the color spots - shapes. It is by no means easy to achieve this effect of internal opposition between the rational and the sensual, between the regular and the random. The struggle between these oppositions evokes images, creates a fable, which gives the quality of 'figurality' to these otherwise non-figurative paintings."

In this exhibition, the public will enjoy a collection of abstract landscapes created with a clean, soft, pastel palette. Themes gravitate around the spaces around us, around the environment in which we exist. This environment, physically visible and plastic, is at the same time ethereal, floating, elusive. The landscapes that we will find in Talev's paintings are only landscapes at first glance. In fact, these are states - of rest, of oblivion, of nostalgia, of contemplation, of self-absorption. This is perhaps the most characteristic of the Burgas artist's paintings, that they are like a revelation, a story told in a whisper - the story of the landscapes, forgotten somewhere in the secret corners of our souls.

We are waiting for you at the opening of the exhibition with the participation of the author on April 25, 2024 at 18:30 in the salon of the Largo Gallery, 8 Han Krum Street, Varna. More about the artist you can find in his profile on our page.
