BLEU FUTUR Exhibition by RASSIM® at the Bulgarian Cultural Center

BLUE FUTURE marks the first solo exhibition in Paris for Krassimir Krastev – RASSIM®, showcased at the Bulgarian Cultural Institute Gallery. The opening reception is scheduled for Thursday, February 5, from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM.

The exhibition showcases a selection of signature works spanning various stages of the artist's career, from the Unfinished Works and Organic Paintings series to his most recent creations from the Blue Future collection.

Born in 1972 in Bulgaria, Krassimir Krastev – known professionally as RASSIM® – has established himself as a leading figure in Bulgaria’s contemporary art scene since the 1990s.

His work is rooted in the context of post-socialist art and unfolds across a variety of mediums, including painting, performance, video, and installation.

RASSIM® stands out for its experimental approach and the use of unconventional materials — such as its own urine or used motor oil — delving into the tensions between transformation and irreversibility, the body and matter, life and death.

Her works, striking both visually and texturally, explore themes of memory, nature, and civilization, while also examining the role of art in shaping representations of the body and identity.
