Dear Friends,
We are delighted to announce the launch of our new monthly newsletter series, presented in seasonal editions. You are currently reading our Summer Edition, where you’ll find highlights of outstanding exhibitions in Bulgaria and across Europe by artists represented by Sarieva/Gallery.
We’re excited to invite you to our latest exhibition, Tuning in Progress, on view from 24 May in Plovdiv. The show features works by Dimitar Genchev, Marta Djourina, Nedko Solakov, Rudi Ninov, and Tsvetomira Borisova.
Looking ahead to early June, we’re hosting a special dinner with French-Bulgarian artist Stefan Nikolaev at Komat restaurant in DOT Sofia. We’d love for you to join us for this intimate and engaging evening.
If you’ll be in Sofia over the coming months, don’t miss Luchezar Boyadjiev’s solo exhibition, On Vacation… (Corpus Equidae, 2004–2024), opening in July at the National Gallery / Kvadrat 500. Limited edition prints supporting the exhibition are still available.
At Credo Bonum Gallery, you can currently see important works by Pravdoliub Ivanov, Rassim® and Ivan Moudov — recently donated to the Centre Pompidou in Paris. This marks a significant milestone for Bulgarian contemporary art, which is still rarely included in major international museum collections.
If your travels take you to Paris this summer, be sure to visit Nedko Solakov’s solo exhibition, Younger (A Fairy Tale). His work is also featured in group exhibitions in Milan and Emden.
You can explore more works by Kamen Stoyanov, Artan Hajrullahu and Luchezar Boyadjiev in galleries across Sofia, Brussels, and Sokołowsko.
We’re also happy to share recent media coverage and Glean magazine article on Sofa highlighting Sarieva/Gallery @ DOT Sofia.
Thank you for your continued support and interest in our artists’ work.
Have a wonderful summer!
The Sarieva/Gallery Team
