Ivars Heinrihsons is one of the brightest personalities in Latvian painting today – a brilliant neo-expressionist and master of the refined achromatic colour scheme, an avid thinker and a romantic in spirit at the same time. His calligraphic brush strokes, tangled lines and bolts manifest in an imaginative form. The painting simultaneously becomes an experience and a revelation. Adhering to the strict system of his own images, Ivars Heinrihsons bases his works on the opposites – black and white, light and dark, stillness and movement, like inhaling and exhaling – everything pulsates and interchanges, intertwines, twists and breaks apart. (Ilze Žeivate)
