Thesis / Antithesis / Synthesis. Painting by Petar Pironkov and Svilen Stefanov

Curatorial project by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Suzana Nikolova

A curatorial challenge brings together Petar Pironkov and Svilen Stefanov in this somewhat extravagant project. Two very different artists collaborate in a paradoxical way within the field of painting.

But why is it necessary to show them together? One reason is their large-format work, typical of an expressive manner. Yet differences appear at first glance through the distinct conceptual structures and the painting approaches that follow them. The curatorial idea aims to present two contemporary and well-known painters. This would not be a challenge if they did not come from different visual and conceptual traditions
