A close-up on the relationship of two Latvian painting masters, Džemma Skulme and Ojārs Ābols, in a contemporary art exhibition “Presence” together with the experimental artist collective “Klīga”.
Džemma Skulme (1925) - the symbolic icon of Latvian painting and cultural life of the 20th century who can affect not only processes in art, but also guide the public opinion until this very day.
Ojārs Ābols (1922-1983) a painter who started his creative work with social realism works expanding them into abstraction and a search for form. In the 70s he turned to history and theory of art. A frequently misunderstood intelectual, the life partner of Džemma Skulme.
Artist collective “Klīga” experimental, conceptual, contemporary. Always anonymous.
