From October 31 to November 30, 2023, Līga Grabovska puppet exhibition "Behind the Three times Nine Mountains" can be viewed in the gallery on the 2nd floor of the Riga Culture and Recreation Center "Imanta".
In the exhibition, special emphasis is placed on the diversity around us and its interpretation. The dolls are made in several styles and yet the handwriting of craftswoman Līga Grabovska is recognizable in every one of them. L. Grabovska started making dolls recently. At first, she wanted to try her hand at it, but later discovered the world of the Internet, which give the opportunity to attend remote classes with various masters in any part of the world. Līga Grabovska studied with various masters and the exhibition will also display works created after the master classes of these masters (Olga Norveliene, Olga Muravyova, Ksenia Mikheyeva, Irena Varna, Tatjana Kuznetsova).
The world of dolls is so vast, big and endless. All surrounding fellow human beings are involved in the creation process. Someone helps to find the right button, another helps find the necessary ribbon, someone brings the most beautiful stone from a trip. Creation is an exciting process that has no end. It is breathtaking to listen to when Līga talks about her works, their creation, painting, aging and the art of finding the materials. Artist invites you to immerse yourself in the world of fairy tales and dreams.
At the exhibition, you will have the opportunity to see forest spirits, mushrooms, deer, insects, vegetables and other fairy-tale characters. It will be possible to see the dolls not only behind the glass stands, but to feel their full presence. At the exhibition the tools with which the dolls were made will also be on display.
