| Vlado Vesselinov |
Paintings of the Bulgarian artist Vlado Vesselinov is a great example that the vintage style prevails lately
and is also present in the world of contemporary art. The work of Vesselinov should be read as an
expression of nostalgia and fascination with the past - fashion, design and pop culture of the 60s. A
characteristic feature of these images is a clearly visible texture of the canvas, which remind us pages that
someone snatched from a fashion magazine found in the attic. It's similar to the effect used by Quentin
Tarantino in his recent productions, where full of dirt and defects film reels pulls the audience in a unique
atmosphere of a Drive-in theater. As for the colors of Vesselinow artworks, he clearly refers to the
psychedelic record covers of Jimi Hendrix or Jefferson Airplaine.
… La pittura dell’artista bulgaro Vlado Vesselinov è un buon esempio di come il vintage sia importante e
presente nel mondo dell’arte contemporanea. Il suo lavoro deve essere letto come un’espressione di
nostalgia e passione per la moda, il design e la pop cultura dei passati anni sessanta. La caratteristica di
queste immagini è la texture chiaramente visibile sulla tela, che ci ricorda una pagina strappata da una
rivista di mode trovata in soffitta. E’ simile all’effetto utilizzato da Quentin Tarantino nelle sue recenti
produzioni, dove la sporcizia e i difetti della pellicola trascinano il pubblico in un’atmosfera particolare da
Drive-in. I colori delle opere di Vlado Vesselinov hanno un esplicito richiamo alle copertine dei dischi
psichedelici di Jimi Hendrix o Jefferson Airplaine. …
