Sofia City Art Gallery turned out to be close to my hotel. I’d put off visiting a couple of times before finally crossing the threshold. The Cook Miniguide promised free admission (it wasn’t) and that it was more likely to inspire than the National (it didn’t). It wasn’t terrible, understand, but fairly uninspiring. Having said that, there was some information about the paintings and artist and something approaching a crowd milling around.
The exhibition was Greddy Assa’s Through the Desert. To be honest, I’d have preferred ‘through the dessert’. There were some interesting aspects - the colours and scale for example and, from what I could see, some nods towards primitivism (though who the hell am I to throw such labels around, huh?). Nothing there to keep my interest really glued, or to follow up.
