Summary/Abstract: Review of Bogdan Alexandrov's latest exhibition at the National Art Gallery, Sofia, called ‚Painting as a Continuous Script‘ (April-June 2022). Painter and conceptualist, artist and researcher, Bogdan Alexandrov presents his latest oil paintings, painted in 2022, in the series ‚Painting as a Continuous Script (Protocols for an Idea)‘. The exhibition, according to curator Diana Draganova-Shtir, includes some of Alexandrov's most significant works and highlights his place in contemporary Bulgarian art. Part of it has an anthological nature - earlier works from the period 2010-2021 are also included (the cycles Purgatorium, Palimpsest, Pareidolia – Staged portraits, Vertigo: Portraits without diagnosis, Continuous Writing, etc.), subordinated to the artist's main concept - research into the liminal human condition through his own method, which the artist calls ‚visual noise‘.
