Rakursi Gallery presents an exhibition of sculptures and drawings by Hristo Haralampiev.

Nine sculptural works that outline the plastic space of the author in the classical sculptural technique in patinated bronze.
27 ink drawings created in the last year.

The artist explores the construction of the sculptural work as a consequence of elements inherent in its essence. Parts that are polyvalent in themselves, but in the specific compositional context receive a specific role, important for defining the overall plastic idea.

The artist takes drawing as a very personal, unique and holistic way of expression. It gives him absolute freedom of expression.
