Drawing is central to life. Almost all the works in this exhibition are drawings, some on canvas and some on paper.  As an artist I have been interested in working with inks and liquid paint, and the rigour and constraint it places on my practice.  Every mark is purposeful; there is no turning back or redoing it.  The works present the viewer with interpretations of place and the idea of absence.  Similar shapes and structure are found across subjects.  Much is left out deliberately.  Do we see shape, movement, texture, shadow, light, fragility, strength or transience?” Peteris Ciemitis, 2019  more
