SOLO EXHIBITION OF ILZE LAIZANE

Welcome to solo exhibition "Open Your Eyes" at Brivibas street 157

“Ilze Laizane finds inspiration in medieval and renaissance art and the ideas of symbolism in particular. Painting bodies of animal and people one over the other forms transparent layers, coming out as a rhythm and effect of illusory space”[1]

Perhaps the symbolism of the images of the past surprises and tempts us, because we have not experienced those times - the images inspire us, refresh the entanglements of the 21st century technocratic society and focus attention on the power that is still with us, but in a different form.

This power, embodied by the artist Ilze Laizāne, appeals intermediate - in the latest cycle of paintings, viewpoints and gazes are captured, both inwardly and outwardly. The viewer will always be the viewer, and this time the language of colors and shapes gives us an opportunity to look into the play of the woman as princess and the lion as king.

The artist's message is luxurious and open, there is a sense of saturation, veiling and reflection, which often through questions allows us to get closer to the moment when the eyes will move away from the phone screens to find other values.

We invite you to moments full of visual reflection at Classical Art Gallery Antonija.

We invite you to visit the personal exhibition of ANSIS BUTNORS - VIEWS AND MOODS.From August 22 to September 22.An exhibition about views and moods that inspire and make the artist appreciate them. Each painting is like a separate story, and why it aroused the interest and sympathy of the artist, let it remain an unanswered question for him and the viewer.In the works of the exhibition, using various means of artistic expression, the artist turns to the genre of portraiture, landscape and everyday life, including various scenes of modern life. For the artist, the arrangement of elements in the picture is of primary importance, but the color scheme is also important, these two factors form the overall structure or composition of the work of art.An essential characteristic of the work of Ansis Butnors is the use of various basic principles of composition, and, according to the artist himself, although this is very good, it cannot create the impression of the exhibition as something unified, integral.Ansis Butnors was born in 1977. Educated at the Janis Rozentals Riga Art School and the Latvian Academy of Arts. Since 2002, he has participated in exhibitions in Latvia and abroad.
