The Jūrmala Museum will open the exhibition "Valdis Bušs 100. Connection". 
Valdis Bušs (1924 - 2014), a great painter, is 100 years old this year. His name needs no comment - the canvases, covered with large-scale palette knife strokes, shine with a vivid and harmonious variety of colours, awakening a hopeful mood in the viewers. "Valdis Bušs is such a beautiful sign in our culture," the painter Džemma Skulme once said. The artist lived in Jūrmala for 59 years, held his first solo exhibition there in 1972, and led the Jūrmala Artists Group for almost 10 years.  However, his name and the significance of his art have many times transcended the borders of Jūrmala and even Latvia, filling exhibition halls in Germany, Switzerland, France and elsewhere in Europe.

Valdis Bušs (1924 - 2014), while living in Jūrmala, painted many landscapes of the immediate surroundings. Lielupe, boat piers, yacht regattas, sunset in the bend of the river, snow-covered houses, slender pine trees - these are just some of the scenes depicted in the artist's paintings. In the paintings of Valdis Bušs, we feel both the heat of hot summer and the spelunking of winter, and enjoy a magnificent sunset on the banks of Lielupe.
Painting was a way of life and a necessity for Valdis Bušs. The artist devoted every free moment to his great love - painting. During his long creative life, countless paintings and nature studies were created. Every day, the artist went to paint the landscapes of the immediate surroundings and was waiting for a vacation when he could devote himself only to painting. Not all works are given names, but sometimes a street corner, a characteristic river bay, a boat dock helps to recognize the depicted landscape.
