Atanas Yaranov is one of the great names in Bulgarian painting from the second half of the twentieth century. Characterized by his unique creative style, powerful imagery, and respectful in terms of volume, his work is commensurate with the high achievements of European modernism. His art is focused on the basic problems of human existence, the moral foundations and values of ancestral affiliation, overcoming life's trials and pain, the strength and will of the spirit.

Zheni Mehandzhiyska is among those artists whose image today emerges in a hazy aura of unjust oblivion. The current exhibition in Gallery Loran is a partial rehabilitation of the personality and work of Zheni Mehandzhiyska, as well as of the Bulgarian fine arts of the second half of the twentieth century, whose painting is still incomplete.
