TIRANA, April 11 – More than eighty artists from Albania, Kosovo and the Diaspora came together in the sixth annual Spring Art exhibition at the National Museum of History in Tirana, showcasing paintings and sculptures.
Melsi Labi, the director of the National History Museum, described the exhibition as a series of paintings and sculptures and a corpus of signs through which every artist speaks.
Almost 40 years after the first SpringArt exhibition which is remembered as a manifestation of modern art developments, the event brings a collection of paintings and sculptures freed from the limitations of the communist regime but also from current misunderstandings and abuses.
Kujtim Buza, Lekë Tasi, Muntaz Dhrami, Pashka Përvathi, Llazar Myzqerari, Sali Shijaku, Mina Zaka are some of the artists featured in the exhibition.
“It is worth stressing that in the case of this new exhibition, the feeling of solidarity and free brotherly competition among artists of different structures, ideas and views, works as unusually in our environment,” said the exhibition’s organizers, considering this an example of the end of exclusion and manipulation practices.
Paintings in different techniques such as oil on canvas, landscapes, compositions, portraits, nudes, ceramics as well as wood, bronze, terracotta, marble, stone and plaster sculptures were featured for several days in the exhibition which closed on April 2.
