Statement
At the VIENNACONTEMPORARY 2022 Maksla XO Gallery is representing works by four contemporary Latvian artists: Ieva Iltnere, Kristaps Zariņš, Paulis Liepa and Pēteris Sidars.
Press Release
For VIENNACONTEMPORARY 2022, Maksla XO Gallery took inspiration from Ieva Iltnere’s latest series of works “Embroidered Selfie”. Ieva Iltnere’s new works are about the confirmation of faith of an individual, of her as a painter – “I paint, therefore I live” – the same notion applies to the works of other three exhibited artists, Kristaps Zariņš, Paulis Liepa and Pēteris Sidars. It is a confirmation of faith for the artists themselves, as well as a message for the world. Viewed from the material side, it doesn’t seem to be much, but from the mental aspect it makes a huge difference.
