Rudi Ninov's First Italian Solo Show at Galleria Continua
Rudi Ninov, a 1992 native of Teteven, Bulgaria, now residing in Frankfurt, is showcasing his inaugural Italian solo exhibition titled 'Writing Paintings' at Galleria Continua in San Gimignano, which will be open until May 7, 2023. This exhibition includes a range of artworks created between 2019 and 2023, such as drawings, paintings, and ceramic sculptures. Ninov established a connection with the gallery in 2020 during Nedko Solakov's group exhibition 'The Artist-Collector's Dream (a nice thing)'. Simultaneously, 'Sbilenco' is being displayed by Ornaghi & Prestinari. His artistic exploration of abstraction and figuration draws inspiration from figures like Sergei Eisenstein and Walt Disney, while new pieces 'Offerings #1' and 'Offerings #2' pay tribute to Lee Krasner. Ninov likens his creative process to jazz improvisation, highlighting the emotional significance of color.
