October 2019 – solo exhibition “THE ALIEN”

Once upon a time, in a distant kingdom, one day the sun turned black and the sky cried smoky tar. The cold winds howled the wolves’ voices, and it was not long before the tar also settled in the people of the kingdom, forcing them to turn against each other.

The Alien had also arrived – the eternally hungry darkness that had come alive and the tentacles of smoky tar were taking over heart after heart.

October 2018 – solo exhibition “MYTHAGO”

The solo exhibition of illustrations and paintings by Arvils Linde “MYTHAGO” deals with the themes and plots of ancient mythology, various mythological beings interacting with each other, with themselves or the universe as a whole. The theme of the series of works demonstrates in an ironically satirical way, through mythological images, the oversaturated consciousness of modern society, its fatigue, and the endless wanderings in the endless mirror labyrinths of their minds.

The artist asks whether the creatures depicted in the works live their own lives, or whether the possible stories are just a mirror image of each viewer’s subconscious.
