Notes

Kristīne Abika is a painter inspired by unconventional surfaces and forms. Various types of metal - tin, aluminium, copper. Rusty, scaly and easy to cut your fingers on. Material and objects that have already served their purpose inspire by their texture and aesthetics to revive them again. There are different metal objects in the subjective landscapes. The cold surface doesn’t support life - only metal grows on metal. During the drawing process a new formation of lines is created on top of the existing one. An image appears. This is how tin landscapes appear. The artist believes we can consider an object to be free only when it no longer performs its basic function and is disposed of. Her works are focused on discarded objects, revealing and reviving them for a new life. While the original context for object’s functionality is lost, its existence is continued in a united system that even rust cannot destroy. Kristīne Abika has obtained a BA degree in stage design (Art Academy of Latvia, 1999) and MA degree in painting (Art Academy of Latvia, 2001). Her works can be found in private collections worldwide. Kristīne Abika has worked as a scenographer and costume designer for numerous theatre plays and performances in most theatre houses of Latvia. She has been nominated for the prestigious annual theatre award “Spēlmaņu nakts” specifically for scenography and costume design.
