NEDKO SOLAKOV 'The Little Ones'

The Institute of Contemporary Art presents 'The Little Ones' (2025-2026), new works by Nedko Solakov. The artist, one of the founders of ICA—Sofia, returns to the gallery created thanks to his generosity.

“The Little Ones” is a series of paintings—a conceptual approach characteristic of Nedko Solakov, one of the most famous artists today, who has participated in emblematic contemporary art forums such as Documenta – twice (2007, 2012) and the Venice Biennale – six times (1993, 1995, 1999 – representing Bulgaria, 2001, 2003, 2007, when he received one of the awards for his participation in the main project). The current exhibition further confirms his unique ability to combine different types of visual language in the form of polysemantic stories, based on deeply personal experiences of aggressions engendered by socio-political reality.
