The Colour of Words: Part III, a solo exhibition by Jane Bustin, opens tomorrow, June 2, at the Daugavpils Mark Rothko Art Centre in Latvia.
“In 2020, Bustin was awarded the Mark Rothko UK Residency Award and spent six weeks living and working at the Mark Rothko Centre, a former fortress in Daugavpils, Latvia. Choosing to work in the semi-derelict outbuildings surrounding the centre, she was immersed in a place rich with history, past lives, secrets and echoes of hidden voices. The peeling walls adorned with faded pinks and yellows, stairways with 1950s viridian green and red oxide linoleum tiled floors, and the heavy deep maroon and rust iron doors evoked the colours of Rothko’s paintings.”
The exhibition runs through August 27, 2023.
