Indirect communication by Roberts Kolcovs

Artist list

Roberts Kolcovs

For the exhibition, the artist has prepared a variety of works, containing large scale paintings, ceramic masks, as well as graphic works, that have been made during the last year. With these works, the artist continues interdisciplinary (painting, sculpture, graphic) communication, that has existed in his works from the beginning of his creative expressions. The large scale paintings continue a cycle, which includes 12 paintings on the theme of the effect of smell on human body and spirit. The masks are made with the priority of ornaments over shapes, keeping the symbolic meaning of the mask without a direct, verbal explanation.


Roberts Koļcovs (1966) studied at the Department of Sculpture at Riga School of Applied Arts and at the Art Academy of Latvia in the graphics department. The artist regularly has exhibitions, has done illustrations for books and press, and also is the author of many interior paintings for social spaces and private buildings. His works are in private collections in Latvia and all around the world.
