Christo Javacheff - Christo is a phenomenon in world art, he is the forerunner of land art, said Ruse Art Gallery Director Eslitsa Popova on Wednesday. She was speaking during a presentation of LIK’s June issue, dedicated to the pioneering artist Christo (1935–2020) and his wife Jeanne-Claude Denat de Guillebon (1935–2009). The event is taking place concurrently at the Christo and Jeanne-Claude Centre in Gabrovo, North Central Bulgaria and BTA’s MaxiM Hall in Sofia as well as the BTA national press clubs across Bulgaria and abroad.

She emphasized that the art of Christo and Jeanne-Claude is a great gesture both as an artistic effort, as a social, environmental, and as a thought in general about who people are in nature, how people interact with nature and how they live. According to her, it is very important to hear about land art, to understand the artists who make such broad gestures.

"It should be known that land art is a very difficult thing because it is associated with strong social activity, political and ecological. That is, each project by Christo and Jeanne-Claude sometimes involves dozens of years of preparation," Popova stressed.
