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 picturesque canvases, most of them created especially for his presentation in Varna.
Hear more from our reporter Vanya Slavova’s conversation with the artist Milcho Talev:
Prof. Dr. Ivan Marazov says about the artist’s work: “With Milcho Talev, the pictorial amalgam is not “poured”, but is 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 accidental. 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.
Some of his paintings are owned by the National Art Gallery – Sofia, the galleries in Pleven and Smolyan, as well as galleries and private collections in Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Greece, Austria, Switzerland, England, France, the USA, Israel, etc. .
