 Barbara Gaile's exhibition [15.02.2011. 11:36] (0 comments)"Rīgas galerija" Barbara Gaile: "Having worked with mother of pearl pigments for many years, I have come to realize how tricky the process is. In a purely visual sense, its aesthetic edge is quite narrow and sharp; just a little, just tiny nuance or even the direction of the application can turn the whole painting into something quite banal or unattractive, common, or even vulgar. The colouring of pearls is like a separate colouring beyond the confines of traditional coloring. Another galaxy beyond the one already discovered". |

 Kristians Brekte's solo exhibition Absolute Evil [29.03.2012. 14:29] (0 comments)The average person today no longer has reverence for the punishments that were accepted and respected by people in bygone centuries.

Without hypocrisy – directly and concretely! |
