Summary/Abstract: Art Collage exhibition unveiled on 27 September 2013 at the hall of the Society of Bulgarian Artists, Plovdiv was a variegated symbiosis between contemporary readings of art as a subjective reality. Sixty artists from across Bulgaria representing various generations, evinced distinctive artistic manners. The concept of the show was focusing on the reflection of the past, present and the future on the innermost, personal labyrinth of each of the authors as represented through contemporary collage techniques. The paper covers this variegation. It seeks to present the captured emotions, the wide range of devices, the interlacing of pictorial techniques and the communication of matters of various types in a common mental field. In this way the issue of time finds its identity in the ‘embedding’ of today and tomorrow into the opulent options afforded by the new collage techniques. With some of the authors, conclusions are drawn on the basis of a direct study of the artists’ ideas (B. Vuleva, L. Dimitrova, M. Beleva), while with others, the analysis has been made by the researcher under the immediate influence of the pieces themselves, but in both cases, the relation between the title and the vision, reality and imaginativeness and the specifics of the used collage techniques are the benchmarks set by the article. In view of the variegated gamut of representative interpretations and image relations, the text shapes an actual highlight of contemporary Bulgarian art in the light of collage overlay.
