In Anticipation of the Grasshopper's Song by Roberts Kolcovs

Artist list

Roberts Koļcovs

There are around 27 kinds of grasshoppers living in Latvia. Herbarium albums are ready, ikebana is well-cared for and butterfly net lies next to the travelling bag and wellington boots.

The exhibition is built around four paintings from the Citrons cycle. A ceramic object with an image of a girl will be exhibited as well – together with several small-size paintings that radiate Koļcovs’ credulity and trustfulness the same way the artist’s own bright eyes that never notice nor sadness nor pain do.
