Artist Collective

Alexander Valchev & Ivo Bistrichki

Sofia Art Fair 2024 presents Alexander Valchev and Ivo Bistrichki.

Alexander Valchev, born 1973 in Sofia, Bulgaria, works in the field of contemporary art, mainly using the means of expressions of sculpture, drawing and photography. His interests range widely, from pure abstract to socially engaged works in which the artist makes a metaphorical commentary on what is happening around us. He combines individual works and series into installations with overall concept and site-specific character.

Ivo Bistrichki, born 1971 in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria, works and experiments using various materials, media and techniques – painting, digital printing, collage, objects. His works fall into the extreme areas of conventional painting. Typical of his works is the deconstruction of images and “injuring” of picture surfaces. The subjects treated by the author are related to the effect of the modern world on personality. In this context, objects of life, portraits, and large-scale space situations appear.
