The generation that the classics of the Ruse Painting School called "The Young"
It definitively continues the line of development of Ruse art after the 1980s. The exhibition presents the works of Virginia Pencheva, Peyno Peynov, Zlatka Stoykova, Roman Kisyov, Antoniy Sofev, Vayana Pankova, Grisha Kubratov, Plamen Monev, Mihail Beshev, Raina Besheva, Hrisand Hrisandov, and Varban Hristov (painting), as well as Maya Kubratova and Dilyan Hubanov (sculpture).
Art schools are frequently established around prominent masters who engender a following and students who further develop the fundamental principles of the movement. A notable example is the Ruse School of Painting, which has exerted a sustained influence on generations of artists.
The artistic style of the "Young" is characterized by a pioneering approach to content and form, marked by a departure from conventional illustrative methods. Their artistic practice involves a deliberate pursuit of the unreal, evoking existential sentiments, and incorporating elements of silence and tranquility. Despite the stylistic differences, their works seamlessly integrate with the artistic tradition established by their predecessors.
