Gļebs Panteļejevs: Mist Zone
|
| Posted by Vilhelms Ozolins | |
  Riga Gallery Gļebs Panteļejevs’ latest solo exhibition „Mist Zone†is deliberately conservative. Nine new stand sculpture works made of cast bronze and aluminium will be exhibited. Only realistic works will be on view, contrasting with Panteļejevs’ previous exhibitions. Most of exhibited sculptures resemble their models, and the artist has worked exclusively in the academic style. The title of the show “Mist Zone†express the artist’s present view of life and world: - some things are clear but some are misty, the boundary between the present and future is vague, shifting and unclear. Two works titled “Mist Zone†will be shown at the exhibition. The main idea is to demonstrate the effect of eraser in sculpture, like in digital processing – one part of the sculpture is real, another seems to be erased. Gļebs Panteļejevs graduated from the Latvian Academy of Art in 1991. Fields of art: sculpture and design. Gļebs Panteļejevs is popular monumentalist: there are artist's 10 objects of environment unveiled in Riga and other towns of Latvia beginning from 1997. His most famous artworks are Monument for Colonel Oskars Kalpaks founded in year 2006 in EsplanÄde, Riga, 2003; memorial sign "Black Doorstep" to former VDK house at Stabu street unveiled in 2003 and memorial sign "The Bridge and the Eternity" unveiled in Jurmala 2006.
