Krassimir Terziev's 'Base and Superstructure' at Sarieva/Gallery explores Sofia's symbolic geometry
From March 12 to April 26, 2026, Sarieva/Gallery in Plovdiv showcases Krassimir Terziev’s solo exhibition titled 'Base and Superstructure' at DOT Sofia. This display includes new pieces from 2026 alongside 'Angels and Chimneys' (1994), delving into themes of perspective and light amid socio-political changes. The 'Central' series (2026) incorporates gold leaf and acrylic to reflect on Sofia's yellow cobblestones. Additional works such as 'Lights Off', 'The Golden Apple', and 'Treasure' challenge the boundaries of reality and fiction, and Terziev's art is featured in public collections globally. This marks his second solo exhibition with Sarieva/Gallery, following 'Images Staring at Images' in 2018. Events include an art tour on March 28, 2026, and a finissage on April 26, 2026.
