06.09.2019. – 05.10.2019.

On September 6, a solo exhibition ‘I Am’ by the painter Gita Šmite will be opened at the gallery Museum LV.
This time alongside with her latest paintings, some older works will be also displayed, even the ones created during her studies at the Latvian Academy of Art. Altogether the collection will present a sophisticated story of a woman’s life and its values.
It is exciting to realise what has happened in the last 25 years and what changes have taken place. The children once portrayed have grown up. The princess's chair is replaced by a bathhouse bunk; instead of beads and glitches there is a crown of flowers or a mop of gray hair. The beautiful models have dropped their festive dresses and now are just simple women. Moreover, they are not abstract, but truly real – from Kolka, from Riga.
Gita Šmite is a graduate of the stand-painting department of the Latvian Academy of Art under professor Imants Vecozols and the painting masterclass of Vilis Ozols. She has taken part in exhibitions since 1995. Has held more than 12 solo exhibitions and has designed costumes for the theatre performances. She is the author of a unique brand -‘Bathhouse Art’.

At the opening of the exhibition, there will be handing of the audience award prize from the project GRATA BALVA which took place at the gallery during the summer.
The exhibition “I am” at the gallery Museum LV will be on display till October 5.

The entrance to the exhibition is free
