Art Exhibition ‘WHAT CAN GO WRONG’ – September 3rd to October 2nd, 2022
Linton and Kay Gallery

Linton and Kay Gallery, Mandoon Winery Estate,
10 Harris Road, Caversham, Western Australia

The exhibition will be opened with an artist talk at 2:00pm, Saturday 3rd September, 2022.
RSVP to info@lintonandkay.com.au

Gallery hours 10:00am to 4:00pm each Friday, Saturday and Sunday 

“WHAT CAN GO WRONG” is an exhibition of paintings, drawings, printmaking and photography about change.

In this return exhibition to Linton and Kay Galleries, artists Peteris and Jillian Ciemitis present works dealing with ideas of modern change.

The works touch on climate change, our loss of connection with place, and our reflection on who we are. Both Peteris Ciemitis and Jillian Ciemitis have explored aspects of these themes in past exhibitions, “WHAT CAN GO WRONG” brings their collaboration and thoughts together in a cohesive exhibition.

Whilst Jillian and Peteris present many individual works, they have also introduced several collaborations in this exhibition; some between themselves, and others where Jillian has partnered with American artist Linde Caughey.

The latter collaboration with Linde Caughey is the result of a separate project “Sister City II_Change” curated by Andrea Przygonski (see below) in Adelaide earlier this year. This is the first time these works by Jillian Ciemitis and Linde Caughey will be shown in Western Australia.

The exhibition will be opened with an artist talk at 2:00pm, Saturday 3rd September, 2022. RSVP to info@lintonandkay.com.au

Art Exhibition ‘Sister City II_Change’, an intercontinental collaborative project.
Curator: Andrea Przygonski
April 7th to April 29th 2022 – Praxis ARTSPACE, Adelaide, South Australia.  

A bold vision by Andrea Przygonski Adelaide based Visual Artist and Curator to create an international collaborative art project, ‘Sister City II_Change’. Despite the restrictions brought about by the long-running pandemic, has gathered 20 Australian and International women visual artists together in a challenging and thought-provoking exhibition due to open on 7 April 2022 at Praxis ARTSPACE, Bowden, Adelaide, South Australia.  This project has been two years in the making.

Jillian, a printmaker and photographer (Western Australia) has been working collaboratively with painter Linde Caughey (California, USA).   First meeting in 2019 as artists in an international exhibition at the National Art Center, Tokyo, the artists have risen to the challenge of distant geography and disparate approaches and media to produce engaging, ethereal works.  Inspired by the spectre of climate change, and the immediacy of fires and tree loss in both countries, the works address the transient nature of nature and environment.  They explore the idea of displacement and alienation of forests.

Art Exhibition ‘Atkal Kopa’ Art Exhibition – September 19th to October 3rd, 2021 – The Laneway Artspace, Bayswater, Western Australia

Long before the current migration controversies, Australia accepted over 900 refugees in 1949-9 from Baltic countries, including Latvia … ‘displaced persons’ from World War II.  With them, they brought their heritage and love of music and the arts.  Now almost three quarters of a century later, many descendants of those refugees have themselves pursued the Arts, and have carved out a place in Australia’s modern identity.

Jillian, Peteris and Isobel Ciemitis joined this group of West Coast Australian-Latvian artists to bring this exhibition of contemporary responses to diaspora and growth.

“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

‘the Orange Wall’, a photographic exhibition by Jillian Ciemitis, 2019
In 2018, Jillian Ciemitis went to Assam and Bangladesh and was entranced by the depth and humanity, dignity and unity in a region known for its challenges.  Often under high security, Jillian photographed hundreds of Assamese and Bangla peoples.  This exhibition of natural and posed photographs of women, men, families and friends present an insightful examination of nuanced domesticity, and gender relationships.
