  • Drawings by Nedko Solakov

  • Erna Hecey presents the gallery's first feature, a zoom into a foundational, new or perhaps overlooked series or event of an artist's career. We hope to shed light and draw attention to a seminal moment in order to offer a broader understanding of an artist's creative practice and approach.

    FEATURE | Drawings by Nedko Solakov delves into two series of unique drawings produced by the Bulgarian artist in the last decade. Born in 1957 in Cherven Bryag, Solakov creates interdisciplinary works, primarily producing drawings, paintings, installations and video works. His work is fictional and conceptual, and often establishes a narrative sequence through a serial format that makes use of textual and humourous elements.

    "No matter what other projects I do, big or small, I keep making those drawings in which neither the text is an explanation about the image nor the image is an illustration of the text. The text and the image are one unit. Sometimes I make them fast, sometimes they need a lot of rendering. I never ever write the story first aside, all stories are directly invented and written on the paper." -Nedko Solakov

  • "The text and the image are one unit."

    Since mid 1990s I have produced many series. The 99 Fears from Documenta 12, 2007, was and still is very popular (it belongs to Enea Righi Collection; Phaidon published a book with their facsimiles). The biggest Optimistic Stories series from 2008-9, comprising 123 drawings, belongs to Burger Collection.
    MoMA New York have in their collection 25 drawings, Pompidou more than 30, other museums
