Jubilees from the fund of  Ruse Art Gallery

At 15 January Ruse Art Gallery traditionally presents an exhibition of artists – jubilees in 2014, whose works are a part of the gallery fund.
The exhibition aims not only to mark the anniversary of the artists, but also to show some of their unknown work. 40 works from different periods of art are presented. The oldest painting in the exhibition is created by Luben Doganov, born in 1884 and the youngest authors are Daniela Maximova and Bisera Valeva.
The exhibition is open till 31 January.

The exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Hungarian Cultural Institute in Sofia. It is a kind of mosaic encyclopedia - diary, a personal confession of Hungarian photographer Attila Lorant. He lists in it the visual elements, emotions and thoughts which are influenced his life. The photographs, arranged in a 3x3 matrix are produced in the 52 weeks of the year or a total of 486 documented moments, parts of one painful year in the author’s life.
“Bits of the daily round”, “of a man, who probably makes his last pictures”, tell about the importance of each small object and detail around us.
The exhibition is open until January 10, 2014
