TIRANA, Oct. 14 – Paris-based Albanian painter Bujar Luca is back home with a solo exhibition featuring 25 years of creativity in France where he has been living and working since 1990 when he left Albania just as the communist regime was collapsing.
The artist comes in this inaugural exhibition at the National Art Gallery in Tirana to ‘repatriate’ his art and communicate and share with the Albanian public what he has been able to create as an artist who lived under communist dictatorship, organizers say.
Through his exhibition in Tirana, Luca 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.
