Exposed

Exposed

Solo show in Riga Gallery, autumn 2005, displaying paintings, photos, videos. Along with the 6 new paintings, a 40-minute film (with music by Kriipis Tulo) was screened and 32 photos displayed. In "Exposed", Ritums Ivanovs continues to analyze the icons and prototypes of show biz and advertising industry (Britney Spears, Kate Moss, Linda Evangelista etc.). This time, his painterly interest lays in the human figure, the naked body with reflective emotional gestures. His characteristic stripe technique has become more sensitive and the vertical lines thinner than before.
