POINTS OF INTERSECTION.

So during an insane thunderstorm in Sofia (Bulgaria) I managed to conveniently drag my friends into the city art gallery. There was a pretty sweet exhibition on called Points of Interest, a collection of portraits of artists by other artists. It featured work from the late 19th and early 21st century. The broad range of work was interesting to look at especially from a progression point of view in how materials and technology have had an effect on art.

I was stood in front of this painting for about 20mins. I absolutely love it. It really got me excited because of the focus to light the artist has used and how they're used different tones of colour to achieve this. The different tones of blue make the face look dead cold and reminds me of a massive android/metallic robot. The chap behind looks like a mad scientist with his crazy eyes and grin. Altogether perfect subject matter to attract me.


I think that this was done by an artist either called Hristo Alexiev or Ivan B. Ivanov but I can't work out which. Signs in a foreign language isn't the easiest to read. I've searched both names on the internet for hours but can't find anymore info or work by them. Gutted majorly. I tried to take some more photo's on my phone but security told me off so this was the only one I managed to get.Idiots.
