Vija Celmins

Vija Celmins was born in Latvia and emigrated to the United States in 1948. Her extensive use of grey and almost photorealistic technique give her works a sense of being that is situated outside a specific time and place. As part of The Paradise series, five prints will be exhibited, which will take as their subjects fine spider webs and night scenes. Her works contain a tension between an almost tangible sense of space and painstaking sensuous detail. They have an extraordinary delicacy and elegance of imperfection.
