site.btaChristo, Jeanne-Claude Is Brand That Creates for Freedom, Says Yambol Art Gallery Curator


Christo and Jeanne-Claude is a brand that creates for freedom and they express it through the open spaces they transform, and through the scale, the selection of materials, even the fact that their works are short-lived, Yambol Art Gallery curator Stoyka Tsingova said on Wednesday. The June issue of LIK magazine is dedicated to the pioneering artist Christo (1935–2020) and his wife Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon (1935–2009). The event took place at the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Centre in Gabrovo (North Central Bulgaria), but Tsingova took part as a guest at the BTA National Press Club in Burgas.
"What makes Christo Javacheff-Christo a name that has made its mark in world art, in my opinion, is the desire for freedom. Of course, this feeling is also present in other contemporary authors. But with him, it is the main, guiding force", Tsingova pointed out, adding that it was the feeling of limitation that he experienced as an artist in the 1950s in socialist Bulgaria that caused him to emigrate.
She emphasized that in Bulgaria, the artist felt very limited, as his qualities as an artist allowed him to express himself in the completely conventional sphere of art, but this was not enough for him. She stated that the idea in the art of Christo and Jeanne-Claude is not so much to provoke, but to aestheticize and give external objects a different view.
