A new solo exhibition by artist Lilija Dinere has opened at the Kalnciems Quarter gallery in Riga. Titled "Totems. A Frozen State and Life at the Same Time," the show presents the artist's most recent body of work.
A mix of media
The exhibition brings together several distinct approaches within Dinere's practice. Visitors will see found objects alongside digital graphic works, as well as natural materials that the artist has hand-painted. This combination of media offers viewers multiple perspectives on her creative process.
The artist's perspective
Dinere describes her artistic outlook in a concise, evocative way, saying that an entire universe can be found within the smallest fragment. This idea runs through the exhibition as a whole, with everyday and seemingly minor elements taking on deeper, almost philosophical meaning in her work.
The exhibition's title points to the theme of totems — objects or symbols that can appear static and motionless while simultaneously carrying within them a sense of life and continuity. This tension between apparent stillness and inner dynamism forms one of the central threads running through the show.
The exhibition is being held at the Kalnciems Quarter gallery, a well-known cultural venue in Riga that regularly hosts solo exhibitions by various artists along with other cultural events.
