An exhibition dedicated to the art of the Bulgarian artist Georgi Baev will open at the Bulgarian Cultural Institute in Prague on 3 July at 6 p.m. The organisers note that 9 November 2024 marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of the world-renowned artist. Baev is best known for his landscape paintings from the second half of the 20th century. The Prague exhibition includes works that trace different periods of his career.


"Whatever stages Baev's art went through, it was always based on the same principles. The longing for the sea is purifying, and the sea itself — quiet and welcoming, stormy and hostile — embodies everything between life and death. In his latest canvases, he refines the image to abstraction, to a symbol. Texture, colour and form are carefully combined by the hand of a consummate aesthete. The artist creates works where there is almost nothing on the canvas, yet they contain everything. Once again, colour takes the lead,’ says the exhibition’s curator, Lyudmila Kutieva.
