Green: Art between Ecology and Society is a project of CBC art group that focuses on artists, which in their works examine and address environmental concerns. It aims at encouraging public and artists to investigate, question, and expand upon the relationship between cultural and natural systems. The project explores contemporary art practices and looks at some aspects of how artists have sought to navigate in the dilemmas of living and working in a world system that seems chronically out of touch with ecological realities.Ivan Kostolov They Are Still Here Credo Bonum Gallery, Sofia, 14.01.- 8.02.2014 Curator: Vanja Koubadinska, CBC art group
Ivan Kostolov, who graduated in Fine Art at Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main, Germany under Prof. Hermann Nitsch, is presenting paintings dedicated to the still existing nature and asking questions about its future (green landscapes and bee swarms). Another issue in his works is the loss of bees as a global process. He has dedicated his series on the bee keepers in the Kavarna region. There are sensations, questions that Ivan Kostolov poses while observing bees’ movements and catching them in his canvases. He isn’t merely painting; he is thinking, interpreting and accepting the signals that are warnings to the world: Danger!

Krassimir Kostov used for some series a Zorki 4 camera, which accidentally fell into the lake of Shabla, then dried up and continued to work but only at a shutter speed of 1/125 s. For one year, he has made a series of color photographs by taking pictures of his favorite places in the garden and the village. |
