"Exaltation"

Encho Pironkov, 1932

"Exaltation", composition

The Bulgarian painter Encho Pironkov was born on 09.11.1932 in the Plovdiv village of Rozovets.

In 1952 he graduated from high school in Plovdiv.

Pironkov is an original talent, he has no art education.

In 1961 his works were shown at the First National Youth Exhibition in Sofia and from that moment on Pironkov held numerous exhibitions in Sofia, Plovdiv, as well as abroad: Berlin, Bologna, Budapest, Warsaw, Dresden, Cologne, Leipzig, etc.

Pironkov is one of the artists assigned to the "Plovdiv School of the 60s", along with Georgi Bozhilov, Hristo Stefanov and others.

Towards the mid-60s, around 1967 Several artistic and plastic tendencies are outlined in painting, and Pironkov, conditionally speaking, belongs to the "pictorial tendency", along with the Plovdiv School.

The period of the 60s is characterized by exceptional dynamics in terms of social and artistic parameters of culture. A connecting link of cultural changes is the democratization of artistic life, the increase in joint and solo exhibitions, the complication of the substantive and plastic problematics of art.

The work "Exaltation" is abstract, with a rich colorful bouquet, expressive, built with deep emotion. Various geometric figures are woven, carrying a certain semantic charge and leaving the viewer with the feeling of symphonic poetry with measured - strong color accents.

Abstraction allows us to develop our imagination, so this "Exaltation" is more related to our perception of what we see.
