Exhibition by artist Christian Brekte “HEILIGE STUNDE / SVETĀ STUNDA “ | Gallery “Bastejs” in Priedaine

An exhibition in which artist Christian Brekte creates a visual dialogue with the works of Swiss symbolist Ferdinand Hodler (1853–1918), repainting their reproductions as a contemporary commentary on aesthetics, death and hidden anxiety.

Hodler’s sacred compositions become backgrounds for the grotesque, sexuality and post-symbolist drama – Brekte asks the question: what is the “holy hour” in a world dominated by chaos, deconstruction and fear of tomorrow? Ink strokes, occult references and symbols full of black irony turn the classic into a living and still provocative image.

Gallery opening hours: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday – closed; Thursday, Friday - from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday - from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
