Landscapes of the Universe

1 - 19 February 2021

About a year ago, the original and deeply creative personality of our colleague Vassil Popov—whom we lost unexpectedly—was rediscovered at Stubel Gallery in an exposition that presented the main artistic focus of the artist: xylography.

Today, once again in the space of Stubel Gallery, the audience is given the opportunity to look at another section of the artist’s vast, yet unfinished, body of work. “Landscapes of the Universe” is an extensive collection of nonfigurative tempera drawings, some of which the artist—in keeping with his lifelong commitment to defy convention in art—has executed in unusually large for the genre formats. Their stirring monumentality is supplemented by another, less known stratum that registers the spiritual journeys of the artist into the depths of the immeasurable: his abstract two-dimensional gypsum sculptures.

The exhibition is transformed into a place of meditation, where the balance and harmony between near and far, known and unknown, the here and the hereafter, the explainable and the inexplicable can be sought out and perhaps even found.
