Marbles Gallery: Saturday, 3 April 2010
Don't miss this lovely exhibit of Bulgarian-American art opening Sat, April 3 from 7-9 p.m. at Marbles. Galina Todorova will show her paintings and those of twelve Bulgarian artists from her Artists'Fellowship "26-5" of Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Her figurative abstract paintings have a special European feeling with Asian influence.
Opening Night: Saturday, April 3 from 7-9 p.m. Free and open to the public. Violin music performed by Lyudmilla Kaymakanova & Megan Maddaleno.
Gallery Talk & Conversations with Galina Todorova: on Friday, April 30 from 7-9 p.m.
Through her art, Galina Todorova makes "…connections between Time, Material & Spirit – Life, Love & Light, all unfolding at the present moment…" Galina dedicates her paintings to the necessity of a strong connection between the human body and soul. Many of her artists-friends accepted Galina's invitation to participate in this show with smaller works presenting an opportunity to bring together two different countries – big and small, young and old – the USA and Bulgaria.
Galina Todorova created the main series of eight paintings on unprimed canvases with acrylic paint and hung them as scrolls conveying the idea of Creation UNFOLDING in our beings. The type of scroll, used for display suggests a strong influence from Asian culture in addition to her Christian origin. Her paintings communicate a message of life as a holy experience translated to the language of visual art.
Another reason for the name UNFOLDING – she kept the unprimed canvasses folded in order to save space in the small place where she worked. Galina's paintings are not completely abstract, although done with loose brushstrokes; human figures, trees, planets and birds can be seen in many of the works. For her eleven free hand paintings, she chose bright colors and expressive brush work. She uses the universal symbol of a circle in many of the pieces; other figures are the male and female bodies, tree and birds.
