The history of Saranda and its surroundings is told through paintings and sculptures in the Saranda Art Gallery.<\/p>\n
Artworks that reflect the experiences of people and cities after each time change are exhibited in chronological order.<\/span><\/p>\n “The exhibition features works from the gallery’s collections, including paintings and sculptures from the period before and after the 90s. Before the 90s, we have the creation of socialist realism, while after those years, the exhibition presents the works of painters’ colonies, watercolor and sculpture symposia, as well as individual exhibitions. These constitute a journey of art for our city over the years, from the 1960s, reflecting themes of the 19th century, such as the war for independence, until today, with the changes in colors and forms of visual arts,” says the director of the Gallery, Lefter Ceko.<\/span><\/p>\n The Albanian history exhibition precedes the month of independence and will remain open for a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n Interest has been high, including foreign tourists.<\/span><\/p>\n “This exhibition will be open for the whole season for several months, and then we will refresh it and continue with other solo exhibitions, as we have a lot of requests,” adds Ceko.<\/span><\/p>\n “The visitors are local and foreign. They are interested in learning the history of this country, but seeing it through the prism of art. The themes that have been realized in paintings and sculptures reflect the artistic concerns and feelings of the artists, from the forms of work to the people before the guard before the 90s, to the beauties of the city and the values \u200b\u200bof the monuments, as well as the psychology of urban development and of life in general.”<\/span><\/p>\n The exhibition is part of the Gallery’s museum, with works donated by Albanian and foreign artists.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The history of Saranda and its surroundings is told through paintings and sculptures in the Saranda Art Gallery.
