About the Item

3 Brothers 2005., a/e, linocut, paper, 23x12 cm. The linocut technique involves carving a design into a block of linoleum and then transferring ink onto paper, creating a print. In the case of "3 Brothers," the linocut process has been used to depict buildings in Latvia. The specific buildings referred to as the "3 Brothers" are a group of historic houses located in Riga, the capital city of Latvia. These buildings are well-known for their unique architectural styles and historical significance. The artist employed carving tools to create intricate details and textures in the linocut block, capturing the distinctive features of the buildings and conveying a sense of architectural beauty.
