The exhibition is dedicated to graphic art as one of the most conceptually rich areas of contemporary art. It brings together artists who work with various graphic techniques, approaches and visual languages in their creative practice, revealing the broad expressive possibilities of graphics in the context of contemporary art. The exhibition features artists who represent classical printmaking techniques and experimental, modern approaches. Visitors have the opportunity to get acquainted with works created in engraving, etching, aquatint, drypoint, linocut, lithography, as well as mixed and hybrid techniques.
The exhibition emphasizes the importance of paper as a material – not only as a medium, but as an active component of a work of art. Here, paper becomes a space for experiments, tactile experiences and conceptual dialogue between technique, idea and form.
Continuing the decade-long tradition of Art Riga Fair, the exhibition exhibits will not only be available for viewing, but also for purchase. The exhibition will feature outstanding Latvian graphic artists as well as participants from Japan, France, Canada, Lithuania, Estonia and other countries.
The exhibition also includes a book publishers’ zone with an exhibition of book illustrations and a wide range of art books and albums.
During the exhibition, etching, calligraphy and paper cutting workshops will be held, and visitors will be able to participate in master classes led by artists.
Tickets can be bought on spot at the museum. The exhibition ticket includes admission to the Latvian Railway History Museum exhibition.
