| Exhibition "Gloria" [09.06.2010. 10:46] Diāna Rutkovska, LMS Gallery The concept of the exhibition "Gloria" collects artists, whose art is inspired by medieval art. However, the main idea of the exhibition "Gloria" concept based on the desire to let the artists show what is worth to glorify in the XXI century. To glorify is equal to glamorize. Every artist have their own theme that seems important or valuable to capture for the work. Each have our own source of inspiration that we stand and rise above everything trivial. | ||||||||||
