From October 8 to 26, Rietumu Bank's exhibition hall (Riga, Latvia) will host the exhibition of the artist Dmitry Lavrentjev, “Educing the Archetype”, organized by the art platform artalea.com, which will feature paintings created in recent years.
The artworks reflect a series of multi-layered elements and symbols, clues, inkling and points of contact, pointing to causation and making references to the interpretation of the archetypes by the founder of analytical psychology Carl Gustav Jung. The depiction of artworks features several universal images, motivations and combinations.
Intense colour contrasts, strong lines and a vibrant touch are the constant hallmarks of artistic handwriting by Dmitry Lavrentyev. The trend of expressiveness, deformation, exaggeration and emphasis on conviction gives the artist's compositions a small dose of archaic expression and bravura openness, while his painting remains challenging, dramatic and surprising.
