‘A lonely question is glowing in the darkness, waiting for possible friendly answers.’ Nedko Solakov wrote this poetic sentence in white ink on deep black paper. With this, he comments on a large question mark, which glows in the blackness in the middle of a small drawing. This series of twelve delicate ink drawings, each of which is accompanied by a commenting sentence, is titled 'Questions'.
Each drawing plays with the balance between image and text, between allegorical illustration and commenting language. In some cases, the works are characterized by existential heaviness and melancholy. In other cases they are more vulgar, ironic or humorous.
Nedko Solakov's drawings series tell short stories. The combination of images and text generates aphorisms that bear witness to a very precise, humorous observation of the random side of everyday life as well as the major existential questions of humanity.
