Hristo Smirnenski blok.70 entrance A fl.9 ap.23 , Sofia, 1000

In this still life, I have specifically focused on communicating a feeling of disgust. My intention is to make the viewer feel disgusted by observing the unusual interactions that occur between the objects in the composition. In order to achieve this feeling of abjection, I have experimented with manipulating the object’s physical attributes out of the ordinary realm of understanding. Hristo Smirnenski, block 70, entrance A, fl.9, ap.23, Sofia was part of Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2018 and featured in a few articles, including Time Out.

Юнак без рана не може - А brave fellow is bound to have wounds. ЮНАК [juˈnʌk] is a word often used in Bulgarian folklore to describe a brave and intrepid youth. The work depicts a series of “unnecessary memories” from the artist’s childhood. Reminiscences, not related to a significant event, unnecessarily stored in his mind. Ephemeral dreams of past moments. A futile gaze at a stranger’s face or a meaningless peer at a motionless object. Юнак is part of Bloomberg New Contemporaries 2019.
