Pacific Felt Factory Arts Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of selected works by artist Kiril Hristov, opening November 18, 2016 (5-8 pm). On view will be several mixed media drawings by Hristov, exploring the progressive transformation of the shape in still life objects. The exhibition, curated & produced by Constantine Zlatev & Hana Ali, will be on view through November 20, 2016.
“I study the visible in order to express and convey the invisible. I draw my surroundings in an effort to rebuild the structure, surpassing the visible skin of the object. Drawing is my own unique attempt at creating a new reality that exceeds the ‘mundane’.”
- Kiril Hristov
Hristov graduated from the National Art Academy in Sofia, Bulgaria in 1978 and became a member of the Union of Bulgarian Artists in 1982.
