Ivars Poikans 1952. Riga
Ivars Poikāns works in painting, graphics, book illustration, cinema art.
Born on October 24, 1952, in Riga
1964-1972 - graduated from J. Rozentāls Riga Art High School
1975-1976 - studied at the Painting Department of the Art Academy of Latvia.
Participates in exhibitions since 1977.
From 1985 - member of the Union of Artists.
He made illustrations for the magazines "Avots", "School and family", "Zvaigzne", "Liesma", and the newspaper "Literatura und art".
In 1987, he won the main prize and audience sympathy award at the inter-republic competition exhibition "Comic in contemporary art". In 2001, he was awarded for a successful creative achievements in painting at the "Autumn" exhibition.
An artist with a persistent interest in social processes (which is a rare phenomenon in the Latvian art scene), who moves the banalities of life to the level of life revelations with an astral schizophrenic orientation.
The description of "domestic banter" performed by the author is almost always sufficiently expressive and also dominates the evaluations of art critics. Expressive painting remains unappreciated; even the drawings of color etchings have a painterly quality.
In painting, at the beginning he consciously tried to synthesize the painting techniques of J. Pauluks and A. Bauškenieks, until he developed his own artistic handwriting, which is dominated by neo-expressionist stylistics based on nihilistic aesthetics. In the graphics, the disharmonious in form and the uncomfortable in a person are revealed in a sarcastic attitude towards any phenomenon of reality. Works mainly in the lithography technique and etching technique with aquatint. /L.Reichmane/

- THORNTON. The RosesBy Dr. Robert John ThorntonLocated in London, GBMagnificent print by Robert John Thornton. Aquatint and mezzotint, printed in colour and finished by hand, heightened with gum arabic, from The Temple of Flora. [London 1799] First state. Thornton was a prolific medical author and Doctor of Medicine, practicing at St Andrews University and licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians. However, he is best remembered for this great botanical publication The Temple of Flora, which formed a part of the larger work - New Illustration of the Sexual system of Linnaeus. In 1797, he also began advertising for subscribers to his planned natural history publishing venture, which eventually comprised of 30 folio botanical plates. For these remarkable illustrations, he engaged the services of the leading artists and engravers of his day: Sir William Beechey, James Opie, Henry Raeburn, John Russell, Philip Reinagle and others as painters; Francesco Bartolozzi, Richard Earlom and John Landseer. Most of the images were painted by Peter Charles Henderson and Philip Reinagle. These botanical illustrations are unique as they were the first flower prints with landscape backgrounds, depicting the natural habitat of the plant. The life-size flowers stand out dramatically and the whole effect is startlingly modern. Thornton's announced intention was to make this work the most magnificent tribute ever paid to the famous Swedish botanist Linnaeus by illustrating his Sexual System with the finest possible prints. All these were engraved on a larger scale than anything which had hitherto appeared and then were printed in colour, an expensive and uncommon method in England at this time. A brilliant effect. This rare and celebrated plate of the Roses...Category
