This exhibition is a project of the Arte Gallery at the Ministry of Culture session for targeted funding of projects in the field of visual arts. The idea of “Steps in Time – Generations” is to pay tribute to the traditions of Bulgarian visual art, demonstrating their relevance and continuity. The project provides a platform for artists who are new to the Arte Gallery’s programme /Sava Tsonev/, comparing them with established artists /Ivan Andonov/, whose works we have repeatedly shown over the years, and underlines the importance of the link between generations. This is Ivan Andonov’s eighth exhibition at Arte Gallery since 2007 and sculptor Sava Tsonev’s first appearance at Arte. Included in the exhibition are nearly 15 of Ivan Andonov’s oil paintings, ranging from large-format to cavalettes, landscapes from the late twentieth century to poetic abstract canvases created after 2000, and about a dozen of Sava Tsonev’s stone sculptures from 2024 and 2025.
