Bergins exhibition "Meeting Place" at Aspazija House

A new exhibition "Meeting Place" by artists Juris Bergin and Živile Bardzilauskaite- Bergin opens at the Aspazija House.

The two artists met in Jurmala in 1993 at a porcelain painting symposium at the Dzintari Artists' House of the Artists' Union of Latvia. In their creative search, they found not only their way to each other, but also their vocation in art, to which they have remained faithful ever since. "Živile's painting moved from porcelain vessels to canvas, and the style was developed in Jurmala in 1993. These symposia were also very significant for me, because when I was decorating the vessels of the Riga porcelain factory in the late 1980s, I had the idea of creating painted, sculptural three-dimensional works from porcelain with realistic images, which I then further polished in Jurmala," says Juris Bergins.

The exhibition "Meeting Place" is a tribute by Živilė Bardzilauskaitė- Bergin and Juris Bergin to the city where the two artists met. Although the exhibition mostly features works created in the last five years, it also includes porcelain objects created during the symposia held at the Dzintari Artists' House at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s.

Opening hours of the Aspazija House - Mon. - Closed, Tue. - Sat. 10.00 - 18.00, Sun. 11.00 - 16.00.

Free entry.
