Plamen Veltchev
Solo Exhibition
The work of Plamen Veltchev is a contemporary visual rumination of how the impetus of individual freedoms can be impeded when interlocked with larger forces. Veltchev explores the struggle to maintain a locus of control in a world where the future is unforeseeable. This sense of uncertainty is captured in his latest collection of drawings and lithographs. Straying from solely lithography, he is able to unleash a new fury with his innovative use of ink, conte, pencil and spray paint. Veltchev’s signature marks are charged. The line complexity creates the turmoil of these large pieces. He reveals his unrest in landscapes that are stuck and divided, weaponry as both interior and broadly explosive, images of apocalyptic foresight, and self-portraits that reflect inner truths. This work conveys pervasive doom on the world scale and its ability to undermine individual autonomy.

CLOSING RECEPTION:

This will be Di Falco’s twentieth Solo Show in Philadelphia; he has also exhibited in over 250 other Solo and juried-group-shows in the US and Europe, including galleries and museums in Atlanta, Baltimore, Barcelona, Glasgow, Los Angeles, Madrid, Minneapolis, New York City, Pittsburgh, and Washington, D.C. The artist is profiled in WHO’S WHO IN AMERICA and WHO’S WHO IN THE WORLD (since 2004) and has received grants from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation (NYC, 2002, $30,000) and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (1987 and 1992). In 2002-2003, Gerard was named a Resident Artist with the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s ART FUTURES program. He is best know for his vivid palette and experimentation with color-field (e.g. “The Madrid Paintings”, Nexus, 1992; and “Art of the State”, State Museum of Pennsylvania, 2007) and experimental installations, (“Art Golf”, Nexus, 1986), a show in which he constructed a miniature golf course where each hole satirized an aspect of the Art World.
In this show, QUANTUM CREATIVITY: RELICS OF THE OLD PHYSICS AND THE NEW ART, DiFalco’s decisive expression of sacred art, geometry & numerology is both strong and tangible, as is the continued evolution of his daring artistic style, technique, and vision. Gerard will show 136 assemblages, which he calls RELICS. These gold-painted, mixed-media-works (containing bones, small mammal skulls, natural/found/cast objects, & gold-leaf) stretch the conventional limits of painting by crossing over into assemblage, fiber-art, and relief-sculpture. These RELICS strike a macabre--yet strangely sacrosanct and primordial--balance between visionary and liturgical art. Di Falco claims inspiration for this series from his studies in folklore, theology, and mysticism since 1973. The artist will also exhibit his fourteen-piece, STATIONS OF THE CROSS (an Anglican- and Roman-Catholic Lenten meditation tool), and “altar-installations,” featuring his icons and other paintings. For information, call 215-829-0466.
