Lilija Dinere and Roberts Diners
"Gods, Heroes, Reflections and Shadows"
From 07.10.2017 - 09.11.2017 in gallery MuseumLV the "Exhibition # No.7" – exhibition of Lilija Dinere and Roberts Diners "Gods, Heroes, Reflections and Shadows" can be seen.
In the exhibition, Lilija Dinere and Roberts Diners deals with the ancient cultural layers, heroes and epic events in which modern man sees analogies with himself and life today, and unconsciously seeks to identify with them. Artists are interested in myth codes and archetypes - their cultural uniqueness and the universality at the same time. The exhibition - as a process of decoding myths, as a reflection of archaic images and myths, and their integration into nowadays.
The works created by Roberts Diners combine human, animal, ancient archetypes and modern associations. The artist creates sculptures using various techniques and their combinations - bronze, iron, silver, stone, clay, wood, sand, incrustation, patina and staining. It will be possible to see Roberts Diners’ sculptures and objects of various sizes starting from miniatures to large-scale installations. Roberts is interested in looking into a small object or detail and transforming it into monumental image, and, conversely, how to include a cosmogony process in a miniature.
In the works of Lilija Dinere, the boundary between the fantastic and the real world is not strictly set, the ancient and modern myths are twisted, creating a multidimensional possibility of perception. The artist in her works uses combination of various materials and techniques: paintings on handmade paper - as pages of ancient chronicles, paintings on large format photos - as a way of modern documentation.
In the exhibition it will be possible to see also the result of the creative co-operation of the two artists – the visual interpretation for publications of two important literary monuments: the ancient French epic poem "The Song of Roland" and the ancient Icelandic epic song collection "Songs of Edda" in Latvian language. There will be exhibited illustrations of these epics, made as mutual integration of two artists – linking Roberts’ three-dimensional objects, sculptures and fragments with Lilija’s paintings, photographs and mixed-technique works.
