The concept of the exhibition has developed in response to the architectural aesthetics of the Art Museum RIGA BOURSE. The museum’s Great Exhibition Hall, with its fully uncovered windows flooded with daylight and views onto the various perspectives of Old Riga, evokes the most magnificent Western European metro and railway stations built in eclectic and neoclassical styles. This has prompted the artist to continue investigating, in painting, the figure–space relationships characteristic of his work, concentrating the tensions of time, history, and politics within the charged, intimate surface of the canvas.
The exhibition features only new works and is part of the Riga Bourse Art Museum’s exhibition series, in which contemporary artists engage with the museum’s historical heritage.
