Artist list
Peter Machata, Jana Machatova
Even though they often exhibit beyond the borders of our country, this is their first show in Riga ever. Art Nouveau Museum is known for its historic artifacts from the “Belle Époque”.
Jana Machatová thus decided to display her artworks referring to this period of time. She opted for three of her collections named “Women´s Diligence”, “Family Album” and “Love is Love”. They all reflect the stories of the past both on a personal level as well as in form of social conventions. The artist incorporates humour into her artworks while preserving their decorativeness and noblesse.
Peter Machata introduces the "Mother and Son", “Relics” and "Stigma" collections. In his work, the author uses organic shapes, combining them with universal symbols depicting our world´s current challenges. In addition to the serious side, his works are also characterized by a certain playfulness and use of the symbols of pop culture.
