Kristians Brekte’s visual language contains references to gothic and black metal subcultures, street art, religion, art history and pop culture. Brekte is fascinated by the dark side of society and in his works he discusses the concepts of death, suffering, sexuality, faith and immorality.
Exhibition ‘Field of Vision’ features Kristians Brekte’s artwork ‘Zhopa’.
Exhibition ‘Field of Vision’ features an eclectic mix of 80 artworks (including paintings, sculptures, and audio-visual media) from the extensive Zuzāns Collection. Artworks are evidence of an era, created under the influence of various political systems, cultural currents, and social norms. The exposition invites the visitors to contemplate how their relationship with themselves affects their ability to form healthy bonds with other members of society, ranging from romantic partnerships to political alliances and the co-existence of human and non-human beings.
