"Elements" - Exhibition by Trukan and Gergana Trukanova

Trukan and Gergana Trukanova “Elements” painting and jewelry 09 - 28 May 2023

For the third time we have the pleasure of meeting you with Trukan's creativity and new searches, but for the first time it will be in the company of his daughter Gergana Trukanova, who will present her original jewelry. The exhibition opens on May 9 and will be open until May 28. "The exhibition "Elements" presents the second creative meeting of Dimitar Trukanov and Gergana Trukanova. Father and daughter united in the study of the various elements in nature. Trukan presents paintings with an original technique combining different materials such as paper, metal, wood, textiles and pigments. The process of communication and exchange between individual elements and man is sealed in the paintings, which become visual transcripts. The exhibition includes previously unseen works from the last 10 years in which paper dominates, expressing air, water and earth. As a continuation of the search and interaction of the natural elements, you will also see new works executed on wood, allowing a stronger expression of fire.

Gergana, on the other hand, presents a series of kinetic jewelry made of silver and glass, and as a continuation of years of research into the combination of the two materials and their qualities, for the first time, she will also present jewelry made of gold. The metal gives a stable base to the form and allows the glass to move freely in the formed holes. The molten glass turns into transparent drops, which are formed thanks to the fire, but at the same time, with their shape, they are visually reminiscent of water.”
