Exhibition Details

GALLERIA CONTINUA is delighted to present YOUNGER (a fairy tale), 1980-1990, a solo exhibition by Nedko Solakov, at its Paris / Marais space.
Retracing the early years of Nedko Solakov’s career and presenting for the first time in France a historical body of his work, the exhibition offers a critical lens on the cultural tensions and transformations that shaped Bulgarian and Eastern European society between 1980 and 1990. In a historical moment on the verge of monumental change - marked by the Perestroika reform movement beginning in 1985, the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the eventual decline of the USSR - Solakov entered a pivotal decade of artistic production. His work during this period captures the transition from communism to capitalism, while also anticipating the uncertain realities that followed the collapse of the socialist regime.
