About the Item
The reflection of reality on a metallic sphere is one of Sietins' most frequently used motifs. He is fascinated by the possibility of opening an extra dimension in the dialogue of space and object, simultaneously preserving real or seemingly real form. Where is it that reality ends and illusion begins? In 2007 Sietins started a new series of mezzotints Characters with mirror reflected letters and words. The technological process itself, demanding to burnish the design onto a scratched metal plate and to acquire the impression on paper, concentrates my energy that becomes essential part of the graphic works. This labour-consuming process is a testing time that proves the viability of the idea. The layers of visual information touch, get harmonized or counteract, giving rise to various associations and evoking the desired chemistry of sensations.
Guntars Sietins was born on October 23, 1962 in Kuldiga, Latvia. Since 1986 Mr. Sietins has kept up a full schedule of exhibitions in Europe, where his prints continue to win many win prizes. Mr. Sietins is also professor of Graphic Art at the Latvian Academy of Art, where he is currently department head. His prints are in numerous museums in Europe. Sietins uses hyperrealism to create an ambiguous environment of symbols and meanings that evoke the labyrinthine world of surrealist thinking.
