黑料不打烊

In collaboration with one of the greatest masters of metaphysical Hungarian painting 鈥� Tam谩s So贸s 鈥� for the first time in Riga, 鈥�Maksla XO鈥� gallery presents Tam谩s So贸s鈥� solo show 鈥淢elancholy鈥�. The exhibition will feature the latest works by the artist 鈥� paintings, papier-m芒ch茅 sculptures and works on newspaper 鈥� created especially for the exhibition in Riga.  During the opening week, the artist Tam谩s So贸s will be in Riga himself, and participate at the opening of the exhibition as well.

In Tam谩s So贸s鈥� works, the theme of melancholy emerges again and again as a multilingual cantus firmus. Since the 1990s, which is considered as the beginning of the painter鈥檚 greatest period, his works are marked by the semantic range and formal properties of melancholy, human figures became palpable in his vertical, amorphous shapes 鈥� be that in the form of painted symbols or black papier-m芒ch茅 sculptures. It was at this point, that a systematizing, leitmotif became tangible in Tam谩s So贸s鈥檚 work based on existential cogitations or, rather, engaged in a constant dialogue with its own thoughts concerning the human condition.
