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.

Opening hours in September: Monday to Friday from 13:00 to 18:00, closed on Saturday from 12:00 to 18:00, closed on Sundays.

The exhibition features items from the private collection of Armands Vijups, associate professor of the Department of Archaeology and History, Faculty of History and Philosophy, member of the State Heraldry Commission, archaeologist and numismatist, and the collection of the Jurmala Museum.

The exhibition is open on weekdays: from 10:00 to 17:00.

Fabias Nils Īle’s exhibition “Atmosphere.”
The exhibition explores memory as an environment, where past, present, and future are revealed through three objects:
“Portal,” “Cloud,” “Information.”

The upcoming textile artist's solo exhibition is a visual conversation about what often remains unexpressed – sadness, tenderness, joy, and inner struggle. The works reveal the emotionality and fragility of the material, which reveals the author's true need to create.

Powerful painting with a personal message. Zitman's large-format works address themes of human relationships and emotional tension. His paintings strike a balance between the harsh and the beautiful, between inner brokenness and the pressures of the outside world.

This exhibition, dedicated to the memory of Nikolajs Bulmanis, a well-known Latvian cultural critic and essayist, provides an insight into the work of Nikolajs and his wife Ingrīda, who devoted themselves to establishing and maintaining cultural ties between Latvia and Canada during their long years in exile and beyond. Their carefully curated art collection is currently owned by the family. It is kept by their sons Niks and Harolds, who live in Latvia, and their daughter Andra, who lives in Toronto. The exhibition is curated by Gundega Cēbere.

Liene Lintere is a student at the Sculpture Department of the Art Academy of Latvia (since 2021). Her works are melancholic, intuitive, and rooted in personal experience and emotions. She primarily works in sculpture, using foam, tin casts, and everyday objects, while also experimenting with painting, photography, and performance. She has participated in several group exhibitions in Latvia, as well as projects in Lithuania and Estonia.

The concept of the exhibition “Šļura” is a personal and emotional narrative about change, fear, fatigue, and the search for silence and peace, reflecting a balance between everyday chaos and creative self-expression.
