Born and educated in Sofia, Bulgaria, Alexi Natchev has made a home for himself in Newark, Del., and a name for himself in the American children’s book industry. Since his move to the United States in 1990, Natchev has published more than 15 children’s books with major American publishers such as Doubleday, Penguin Putnam, Random House and Simon and Schuster. Although Natchev studied at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia, where he was later a professor in the drawing department, he and his work are no strangers to SCAD. During the 2001-2003 academic years, Natchev taught illustration at the college. In fact, his most recent book, “The Tale of Urso Brunov, Little Father of All Bears” — a collaboration with acclaimed writer Brian Jacques and the story of Urso Brunov (who is the strongest, wisest and bravest bear in the world but also the smallest) — is the result of two intense but productive years of work in Savannah. Natchev’s talents span the fields of printmaking, drawing and illustration; his work has been shown in many international exhibitions and biennials. In 2001 he was awarded an artist fellowship from the state of Delaware. His work is in the collection of the National Gallery in Sofia, as well as the rare book collection at Princeton University. “Alexi Natchev: New Illustrations from ‘The Tale of Urso Brunov’” will feature original art from the book, as well as a selection of the sketches and pre-press drawings that Natchev created during the publishing process. The artist will sign copies of his book at the reception, Jan. 9, 5-7 p.m. “Alexi Natchev: New Illustrations from ‘The Tale of Urso Brunov’” will be on display at Bergen Hall Gallery, 101 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd, Jan. 8 - Feb. 15.
