An exhibition by Bulgarian artists Yordan Ivanov, Kiril Manasiev and Vassilen Vasevski has opened in Chicago. Yordan Ivanov is from New Orleans, Kiril Manasiev and Vassilen Vasevski both live and work in Chicago.


The audience seems to be yearning for something different after the Covid restrictions, and the Bulgarian gallery Bagrena in Chicago was packed, BNR’s correspondent in USA Elena Tsaneva reports. The planning for the exhibition started last year. The artists decided to make works in the same format, but with no limitations in terms of technique or subject matter. Yordan Ivanov and Kiril Manasiev are presenting abstract art, while Vassilen Vasevski says that he has never felt a stronger bond with Bulgaria than during the time he has considered himself cosmopolitan, and that he is on a quest for his roots.
