At 4 p.m. on Friday 1 February, the first exhibition season of 2019 will be opened at Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre.<\/p>\n

With the opening of six new art projects that make up the new year\u2019s first exhibition season at Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre, we want to highlight such themes as truth, mission and internal uniformity in art.<\/p>\n

Through the artist\u2019s touch and skill, art freezes the moment of truth, be it ugly or beautiful. The different faces of truth, versatility and uniqueness \u2013 all that and more can be gleaned in the work of this season\u2019s featured artists from Latvia and beyond.<\/p>\n

The principal value of art, its ultimate goal that is to be pursued, lies in remaining faithful to one\u2019s style and to the principles dictated by one\u2019s chosen technique, nurturing traditions and passing them on to a new generation of artists while retaining the exuberance of youth and the touch of irony in one\u2019s artistic experiments.<\/p>\n

As we create and tell our stories in a world of things uniquely meaningful to us individually, we enter the cultural space of the 21st century each with our own internal uniformity. In art, it gives us a shared goal and defines our separate truths.<\/p>\n

The new exhibition season, open to the public from 1 February until 14 April, features such shows as \u201cThe Play of Light and Dark\u201d by Inta Celmi\u0146a and Edvards Gr\u016bbe, \u201cInternal Uniformity\u201d by Wang Shaojun, \u201cMoments\u201d by Belarusian watercolour painter Alexander Karpan and \u201cArchitecture in Painting\u201d by O\u013c\u0123erts Krauklis. In addition, Pashmin Art Gallery from Germany has brought to Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre a group show by 15 international artists on the topic \u201cBeauty is Truth, Truth Beauty\u201d. Finally, Romanian artists Ovidiu Leuce and Delia Maxim together with Pinar Baklan \u00d6nal from Turkey offer a joint exhibition project \u201cUgun\u012b\u201d featuring artwork created right here, in Daugavpils Fortress, in the framework of the Rothko Centre\u2019s residency programme.<\/p>\n

On 1 February, during the new season\u2019s opening event, all temporary exhibitions will be available free of charge.<\/p>\n
