Oscar Wergeland and Nikolay Kulainis. Karmøy exhibition/utstilling

 I got this idea about both painters in the exhibitions in Karmøy 2014. Exhibition was organized by Lions Club Karmsund.

Common features:

• night
• classic.

Somewhere

Gallery Daugava

The works of three artists recent, graduates of Art Academy of Latvia - Madara Neikena (1988),  Edgars Soprans (1988) and Dagne Ventina (1986).

" "Somewhere" is ambiguous - places and things, real and imagined, can create different associations based on the individual experience leading the viewer into a surprising  insight."

Dagne Ventina, Scarf/Skjerf, oil on plywood/oil on finer, 2015, 40x40

Dagne Ventina.

" Everyday themes and rituals whose value and delicacy is highlighted by isolating them from their usual surroundings are observed by D.Ventina."

Madara Neikena. Home, oil on canvas/olje på lerret, 2015 , 120x180

" Madara Neikena catches the seamingly uncatchable in her painting - the mood, the smell, the sound of each individual element. The presence of nature has a significant  role in her work. The meditative temper and minimalistic approach of her creative work allows  the viewer to reflect on their own feelings."

Giovanni Francesco Barbieri also known as Guercino. Portrait of a lawyer (Francesco Righetti?)

Portrait of a lawyer, oil on canvas, 83,2x66,7cm, Private collection

This painter came from the City of Cento and acquired Europe-wide fame in the 1620s, briefly residing in Rome during the reign of Pope Gregory XV, becoming his protege. In decades to come, Guercino`s fame only increased as corroborated by his book of commissions (Libro del conti).

The Portrait of a Lawyer has a famous collecting history. After appearing on the American art market in 1987, it ended up in the collection of Edmund P.Pillsbury, Director of the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth Texas. Sir Denis Mahon traced the work`s provenance back to the collection of Empress Josephine`s son Eugene de Beauharnais. This revelation was made, thanks to an entry by F.Muxel in a catalogue printed in Munich, providing information about the Leuchtenberg collection. This subsequent travels of the work took it to Saint Petersburg and before the October revolution to Paris (O.Mahon, in Giovanni Francesco Barbieri 1991, pp. 194-195). Information dating back to 1810 tells us that at that time the painting belonged to the Marchese Francesco Sampieri, who sold the collection of 130 works to Eugene de Beauharnais, Vice-Regent of Italy (before the sale, Guercino`s Portrait of a Lawyer hung on the wall of Francesco Giovanni Sampieri`s apartment).

It is possible that the man depicted in the portrait is lawyer Francesco Righetti (1595-1673), a doctor of  legal sciences, who was well-known in Guercino`s native city of Cento, which was also home to the artist`s studio until 1642 (Salerno 1988, pp. 212-213). The portrait was painted  between 1626 and 1628. The lawyer  depicted in the painting was an energetic, active personality, a member of the Community Commitee (Consiglio della Comunita) and author of publications with a legal content, as emphasised by the legal  tomes on the bookshelves (Helmholz 1992 pp.185-188). A wonderful example of a still life with the interaction of light and shade, as it was described in the 18th century by Giuseppe Maria Crespi.

Giuseppe Maria Crespi. Portret of Antonio Cartolari

Portrait of Antonio Cartolari, Oil on Canvas, 93x75cm, National Art Gallery of Bologna

Giuseppe Maria Crespi (Bologna 1665-1747)
Luigi Crespi (Bologna, 1709-1779)

This painting depicts engraver, designer and decorator Antonio Cartolari (1701-1779), who testifies in his 1777 will that in this portrait everything from the arms to the head is the work of S.r.Knight Crespi, also known as the Spaniard. The painting was subsequently delivered to the Bolognese Sanctuary for Impoverished Priests (Ospizio dei Poveri Sacerdoti Bolognesi) on Nozadella Street (Mazza 2000, pp.71-73). The writing in the will corresponds with the notes of Marcello Oretti: the head is painted by Giuseppe Crespi, also known as the Spaniard, everything else is painted by his son Canon Luigi.  Engraved on the plate is: Luigi C.f. It is known that Giuseppe Maria Crespi made corrections to his son`s paintings, which were painted in the family studio, and painted in the most complex details, such as, in the case of this painting the face of his friend Antonio Cartolari. As a creative duo, they were also well-known among the city`s clients for works of art, depending on the circumstances, their works were also ascribed under one name or the other, because son Luigi was also very gifted (Roli 1977,pp 144-148). By the time he was in his thirties, it is conceivable that the talented young artist was already capable of creating a work independently, and that he was responsible for painting the setting for the portrait of Cartolari: the project plans, compass ink and pencil even divert attention from the face, indirectly indicating  the ability of a student of Ferndinando Bibiena to depict complicated items. Just as in the portrait of the family of silversmith Zanobio Troni, in this painting Crespi alludes to the occupation of the subject of the portrait. The work`s stylistic traits and biographical clues suggest that it dates back to  around (M.Danieli, in Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna 2011, pp.158-160).

In Kurzeme - L. Purmale

At the Gallery Daugava

"Purmale and Polis are names  that magnetically attract the term "Photo Realism" in surveys of Latvian art, although both artists have often energetically opposed it. Their connection with the quite peripheral trend in the global art history poses many riddles but nevertheles fascinates. It is possible that several principles crucial for Purmale`s art can be elucidated, projecting general principles of Photo Realism against the field of artist`s individual practice. [...]

I like distance, that steamed-up window in-between, that prevents Liga Purmale`s paintings from spreading smells and sounds. Painting is painting, there is nothing to prick up ears and nose about. The world is made up by what is visible. The painting`s world."

Sideway is the place where you can catch the best moments of life. Pleasure, melancholy, appointments and divorces, talks and loneliness, routine and celebration- all in one place. 

Colors, shape, light and texture.

Harmony reveals in the stylistic multiplicity.
