This interest in the desire to retroactively construct one\u2019s identity through narrative steeps his paintings in the semantics of self-reflection.\u00a0<em>A Detective by the Sea<\/em>\u00a0offers a constellation of memory objects, floating recollections that conjure the atmosphere and inner workings of the Riga-adjacent Bab\u012bte parish, where the artist lived during the turmoil of the post-Soviet 1990s as well as his current residency in the coastal resort town of J\u016brmala. Reinterpreted in the deliberately childish style of fairy tales, the memories depicted in these paintings\u2014many attached to building snowmen in the yard\u2014combine symbols found in nature with more personal elements. Predetermined by cultural and personal context but stripped of didactics, this new body of work suggests more than it directly expresses.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u0112riks Apa\u013cais (b. 1981) mainly works in painting and has participated in international exhibitions since 2008. Selected solo exhibitions:\u00a0<em>Mailbox No.12<\/em>, Gallery 427, Riga (2023),\u00a0<em>Family<\/em>, Latvian National Museum of Art, Riga (2020), <em>Inscribed Silhouettes<\/em>, Galerie Vera Munro, Hamburg (2014). Group exhibitions: <em>An Average Comet<\/em>, gallery Harkawik, NYC (2024),\u00a0<em>Everything Was Forever, Until It Was No More<\/em>, Riga International Biennial Of Contemporary Art, Riga (2018),<em>\u00a0Stolichnaya and Snowmen<\/em>, Art Cologne, Cologne, Germany (2018), <em>Dedication, Exploitation &amp; Haute Collaboration<\/em>, Silberkuppe Gallery, Berlin (2017). The artist has been awarded the Karl H. Ditze-Preis for best diploma, the University of Fine Arts of Hamburg, Germany (2011) and DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service) award for excellence. In 2011 has was nominated for Ars Viva 11\/12 prize. \u0112riks Apa\u013cais has received master\u2019s degree in arts from the University of Fine Arts of Hamburg as a student of Prof. Andreas Slominski, Germany (2011).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Warsaw Gallery Weekend is the largest event in Poland dedicated to contemporary art, and one of the leading reviews of new art in Central and Eastern Europe. WGW allows you to see the art world from a different perspective &#8211; not through the prism of museums and cultural centres, but where art is alive and contact with artists is direct. This year&#8217;s art festival will once again be extended to include a programme of accompanying events, allowing even more people to access free culture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For pricing inquiries and further information on available artworks, please contact:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Evita Goze<br \/>\nEmail: evita.goze@kim.lv<br \/>\nTel: +371 20201563<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Zane Onckule<br \/>\nEmail: zane.onckule@kim.lv<br \/>\nTel: +371 26537438<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.warsawgalleryweekend.pl\/en#Mapa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Find the map here<\/a><br \/>\nWorking hours: 11 am &#8211; 7 pm","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kim?
