TIRANA, Oct. 13 – France-based Albanian painter Bujar Luca will open a personal exhibition in Paris showcasing some of his best works as part of a project highlighting Albanian art in France.
Luca has been living and working in France since 1990 when he left Albania just as the communist regime was collapsing.
In late 2015 he was back home with a solo exhibition at the National Art Gallery featuring 25 years of creativity also showcases what an Eastern artist can achieve when having courage, and emotionally guided by imagination, knowledge and talent.
Bujar Luca, who was in late 2014 featured in a joint exhibition with Prime Minister Edi Rama in Paris, is an Albanian contemporary artist who under communism in Albania worked as a stage and costume designer at the former Kinostudio film production.
Bujar Luca sees painting as a medium to print the reliefs of the soul and beyond the homeland and the Promised Land.
His latest “Tombre en Haut” (Falling) exhibition will be open at the “Le Purgatoire” gallery from October 17 to December 23 at the Le Purgatoire gallery in Paris.
Meanwhile, eleven Albanian contemporary artists are also showcased at Marseilles Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations in an exhibition named “Albania 1,207 km East.” The exhibition is being held as part of the Albanian Contemporary Artist Salon, an initiative of the Albanian Culture Ministry and the French embassy in Tirana, targets promoting the work of a selection of Albanian emerging contemporary artists and curators in Albania.
