Exhibition of Jelena Morozova and Vera Bondare. “Living Impressions: Two Women, Two Realities”

17.11.2023. – 13.01.2024.

The exhibition "Living Impressions: Two Women, Two Realities " is a journey through the artistic works of two painters, Vera Bondare and Elena Morozova. The creations of these two artists immerse viewers in a world where light and shadow, reality and expression, the tangible and the abstract create mutual harmony. 

Vera Bondare is an artist characterized by meticulous precision and mastery of realism. Her paintings serve as windows to a world where everyday moments gain deep meaning and beauty. Through the play of light and shadow, Vera transforms ordinary scenes into true artworks, encouraging us to reconsider the beauty and significance of the everyday.

Elena Morozova offers to express emotions and abstract concepts using expressive compositions and a wealth of color. Her works are dynamic and radiate vitality, drawing us in with their energy and play of color. Elena explores the diversity of the world through bright colors and dynamic compositions, taking us beyond the boundaries of physical reality.

The exhibition "Living Impressions: Two Women, Two Realities" is a journey through the complex and multifaceted artistic expression that provides visitors with the opportunity to experience the richness of the natural world. Each painting is a story of various interpretations of reality that merge in harmony in this exhibition.

Group exhibition. “Another World”
15.09. – 28.10. 2023.

From September 15, MuseumLV Gallery displays a group show of four painters, “Another World.” The artistic approach of the exhibition participants - Anna Afanasjeva (1981), Magone Boleiko (1985), Mārīte Guščika (1980) and Ronalds Rusmanis (1981) is radically different, which explains the theme and title of the exhibition chosen - about the diversity of the modern world as an undisputed dominance in the global context. The topic is one of the highlights of the world's social processes, where the quirky is a legitimate model of global existence.
Artists represent a generation of 40 - year-olds (educated at the Latvian Academy of Art) who have asserted themselves and gained recognition in the professional art field. They participated in many group shows and held personal exhibitions. The authors have crystallized techniques of artistic expression and developed a range of themes through which artists talk about what matters to themselves.
The exhibition's concept is shaped by the simultaneous diversity of the world and its coexistence. This tempo inevitably provokes the question of the coexistence of an individual's personal and public space - how do they connect with each other and does an individual feel happy in this inevitable common space? People-to-people relationships and the quest for their identity are inseparable from the evolving patterns of the global structure of the world, which are constantly changing and modifying. That's why personality individuality is the most important factor in this such a shifting pattern of the world, as reported by the co-exhibition of four artists - Anna Afanasjeva, Magone Boleiko, Mārīte Guščika and Ronalds Rusmanis, “Another World,” with so many different techniques of artistic expression.
The stylistics of the artworks have a great range - from individual versions of modernity, variations of photorealism to lyrical abstraction. The works exhibited can trace the artists' current artistic interests and range of themes rooted in professional experience and subjective living space within themselves.
The show includes the authors' latest works, many of which have been exhibited for the first time.
Curator of the exhibition – art scientist, Diāna Barčevska.

Draugi, sakarā ar XXVII Vislatvijas Dziesmu svētkiem un XVII Deju svētkiem aicinām uz tikšanos, kas notiks 10.jūlijā plkst.18:00 kultūras centra GRATA JJ galerijā MuseumLV.

Mūžīgi jauna: nācijas tēli un simboli Eiropas kultūrtelpā 19.gs. Skats nākotnē?

Latvijas Mākslas akadēmijas profesora Denisa Hanova lekcija piedāvās nācijas jēdzienu, tās vēstures analīzi un plašu iztirzājumu par tēmu - kāda ir nācijas nākotne globālā pasaulē?
Paralēli dosimies ceļojumā Latvijas 19.gadsimta vēsturē, pirmo Dziesmu svētku (1873.g) tapšanas laikā Rīgā, iepazīsimies ar nacionālās kustības līderu likteņiem un uzzināsim, kā 19.gs krievu intelektuāļi, rīdzinieki vēroja gatavošanos svētkiem un kādas bija viņu domas par latviešu nacionālo kustību.

Vai mēs uz mirkli varam iedomāties, ka pasaulē nav nāciju, ka pats jēdziens ir beidzis pastāvēt? Šķiet, nācija ir bijusi un būs mūžīgi. Tomēr pirms nedaudz mazāk, nekā 250 gadiem "nācija" bija kaut kas jauns, pat revolucionārs. Nācija un tās piekritēji tika vajāti 19. gadsimtā, un mūsdienu pasaule diez vai var izsekot, cik ātri un atšķirīgi attīstās nācijas - kas tām pieder un kā tas maina pašu koncepciju. Jautājumu ir daudz, taču tikpat dažādas ir atbildes, versijas un iespējas mūsdienu nācijas pastāvēšanai. "Nācija" ir salīdzinoši jauns jēdziens, taču daudziem tās autoriem nav šaubu par nācijas “mūžību”. Kā ir iespējama šāda novitātes un senatnes vienotība?

Lekcija paredzēta plašam klausītāju lokam bez priekšzināšanām un notiks latviešu valodā.

Ieeja lekcijā bez maksas, nepieciešama iepriekšēja pieteikšanās līdz 9. jūlijam, zvanot uz galeriju vai rakstot e-pastā.

Друзья, в преддверии XXVII Вселатвийского Праздника песни и XVII Праздника танца приглашаем вас на встречу, которая состоится 28 июня в 19:30 в галерее MuseumLV культурного центра GRATA JJ.

Вечная новь: нация в европейской культуре 19 века. Взгляд в будущее?

В лекции профессора Академии художеств Латвии, Дениса Ханова, будет предложен анализ понятия нации, ее истории и широкая панорама версий на тему - каково будущее нации в глобальном мире?
Параллельно мы совершим путешествие в историю 19 столетия Латвии, в период создания первого праздника Песни 1873 в Риге, познакомимся с судьбами лидеров национального движения и узнаем, как русские интеллектуалы 19 столетия, рижане, наблюдали за приготовлениями к празднику и что думали о латышском национальном движении.



Можем ли мы представить себе на мгновение, что в мире нет наций, что само понятие перестало существовать? Кажется, что нация была и будет вечно. Однако еще чуть менее 250 лет тому назад нация была чем-то новым, даже революционным. Нацию и ее приверженцев преследовали в 19 столетии и сегодняшний мир с трудом может уследить за тем как быстро и как по-разному развиваются нации, кто к ним принадлежит и как это меняет само понятие. Вопросов множество, однако столь же различны и многообразны ответы, версии и варианты существования современной нации. Нация - понятие сравнительно новое, но “вечность” нации у многих ее авторов не вызывает сомнений. Как возможно такое единение новизны и старины?



Лекция предназначена для широкого круга слушателей без предварительных знаний и будет проходить на русском языке.

Вход на лекцию свободный, обязательна предварительная регистрация до 27 июня по телефону галереи или маилом.

Ģirts Boronovskis
"Flatscreen Landscape" - pastels
Gallery MuseumLV , anniversary exhibition.

06.04.2023. – 27.05. 2023.

Ģirts is a born and bred 'Rīgan' whose secondary school education began at Riga Secondary School number 24 , located at the junction of Tallinas and Krišjāņa Barona street. The drawing teacher, who also headed the voluntary drawing group, proved to be fortunate for him - Vilis Vizulis, who at the time was a young artist in his own right, spotted Ģirts special artistic talent. Ģirts represented his school in the drawing Olympiad competition and Vizulis succeeded in persuading his parents that the young man should further his education at the Jaņa Rozentāla Art School.
There was a slight glitch before actually gaining a place there as he had remained first reserve. However, after some discussion, he was duly accepted as a 'rozentāl' student. Ģirts recalls with the utmost sincerity his class teacher Uno Danilevski, who was most caring towards all his students. At the time too a particular interest in the techniques of graphic art came from another source, Līga Bokalder, who was in charge of the graphics group as well as having her own specialisms. Ģirts was not as successful at painting as his fellow students so he is especially grateful towards his painting teacher Imants Melderis, who really encouraged him not to lose interest but to strive to become a more accomplished painter.
Ģirts graduated from the Rozentāl Art School with a linocut work entitled "Factory Work".
Further studies continued at the National Art Academy in the graphics departament led by Aleksandrs Stankevičs. Concurrently with graphics and drawing Ģirts was also painting using water colours and gouache. In his final year he increasingly devotes his attention to the medium of graphics, focusing on the printed book. Pēteris Upītis, a graphics specialist, was his teacher and it was he too who oversaw his final graduation work comprising illustrations for Andrejs Upīša's book "The Wheels of Time". Moreover Ģirts was one of his last students. It is worth noting that the artist is now confident enough to strike out on his own, renouncing usual graphology techniques and instead choosing to employ Indian ink drawings.
No matter how paradoxical it may seem it was marriage that seemed to stimulate his further artistic development .His parents -in-law are the renowned Latvian artists Rita Valners and Eduards Kalniņš. In particular it is Valners who encourages the young artist to try pastels and it is this technique that with time becomes Boronovski's medium of choice through which are mirrored in fine detail his own personal experiences and attitude towards nature. Moreover it is thanks to Eduards Kalniņš's wide experience and technical expertise that Ģirts seriously begins to turn to photography. He not only takes numerous photographs but also develops his own films and colour slides, making copies of black and white photographs in his own workroom. Whilst a student at the Art Academy Ģirts also began work at the Latvian, now National, History Museum. Concurrently with other work this is something he continues with to this day. Chance has meant that his main focus has been on art from a historical viewpoint and undoubtedly much has been achieved in this context. He has curated many historical exhibitions and projects, and is well known and respected in Latvia. Such work has not been just carried out in Latvia but also in other world renowned museums .


When he was young Riga had many cinemas and 'going to the pictures' was one of the most popular forms of entertainment. One cinema in particular stands out, namely "Palladium" which boasted a flat screen. The image projected on to this screen was so huge that one had to turn one's head from side to side, particularly if you happened to be sitting in one of the front rows.
A sensation of this vast expanse of landscape which can seemingly overcome the viewer is a theme in his work. Technology may change, advances may be made offering up panoramic views of the natural world, images captured in flatangled photographic camera work. The question however arises: how to incooperate these feelings of endless landscapes in a work of art? Usually artists do not concern themselves too much about what fits or not on the canvas. Ģirts however is one of those rare landscape artists who strives to capture this elusive emotive endless landscape reality in full in all his work so as to take one's breath away.
The artist's main theme is nature's mood and how to recreate this image for the viewer. To achieve this he explores all the many and varied images created by the changing seasons, the way light changes, the different textures. He paints fog, mists, water, sunsets, meadows- simple, peaceful moods. The artist does not paint seascapes because the sea is constantly moving . He also avoids stones for these in nature are hard, but not always so in paintings. He also totally avoids moonlight. This non- depiction does not stem from prohibition but rather from a sense of self - questioning: will I succeed, will I convincingly be able to portray this? The artist's creations always keep the viewer in mind. He is driven not just by his own creativity but also an awareness of judgement from the side-lines.
"Flatscreen Landscape" is in it own way a unique exhibition , it being quite a rare occasion. It comprehensively displays the artist's mature craftmanship.
