Abstract, objectless, geometric – this is an entire concept of meaning and design on which 20th century art is based. The leading and connecting idea in it is the freedom of the author, but also of his or her audience. Visually, through geometric art, one can express ideas, but not by using natural forms and symbols. Thus, abstract figures appear with the function of educating society, of suggesting new moral norms and values. The ideas of these artists flourished in the period between the two world wars. They found expression in various visual formats, for example, in industrial design, typography, architecture, and also were transferred into the music, poetry and philosophy of the 20th century.
"In addition, the association "nonsofia" also organizes a national forum for geometric art. Another format is the current exhibition "Focus: Netherlands", i.e. currently we have an exhibition of 10 Dutch artists in the gallery, and this means that we have an exchange. And last but not least, there is also an export of Bulgarian geometric abstraction. "Export: Bulgaria" has already had 5 editions, and last year we managed to make two exports of Bulgarian geometric art. The gallery has been around for three years and young artists have come close to us, with whom we can now travel the world and show that Bulgaria is one of the newest emerging scenes for geometric art. I hope that one day Sofia will be among the European capitals of geometric art. There are conditions for this and we are building a Bulgarian tradition in non-objective art."
