| THE DISTANCE OF A KISS: Olga Šilova Laima Slava The name of Olga Šilova over the last ten years has gained a firm foothold in Latvian sculpture with her consistent style, perfection of form and its sound stamped with elegance. The change of the plastic language of her works from pronouncedly flowing and a little surreal, to tensely constructive and seemingly rational, while the dimensions continue to become more densely strained, follows the consistent rhythm of her one-woman shows; from "Calligraphy" (1996), "Fingerprints" (1998) and "Sign of Aquarius" (2000) in the Daugava gallery to "Distance of a Kiss" in autumn 2002 in the Riga gallery. This has confused the viewer who had already formed his opinion on who really is Olga Šilova, her strengths and limits of her abilities. |
