The Krūmi Constellation

The Krūmi Constellation (Krūmu zvaigznājs, until 1 March) is an exhibition by the Talsi Artists’ Group at the Jūrmala Museum, presenting a creative community shaped over more than eighty years, with its roots in the 1930s, when painter Jēkabs Spriņģis was active in Talsi. From this artistic environment emerged the Talsi Krūmi Art Group in the 1990s – a free, independent community united by friendship, whose activity coincided with the period of social and political awakening. The exhibition brings together artists of different generations and media – painting, sculpture, photography, installations, and objects – outlining a distinctive creative constellation characteristic of Talsi and recognisable within the Latvian art scene.
