Ilgvars Zalāns
Ilgvars Zalāns (born 24 September 1962) is a Latvian painter. He is generally identified as an Expressionist and is one of the most influential contemporary expressionist painters in northern Europe.[1] In the course of his career he was influenced by Gutai group, Fluxus movement and other modern art activists and has turned more to the scene of action-painting. Since 2007 Ilgvars Zalans had a 33-country world tour with his action-painting performances.[2] In the past years he has actively taken the opportunities offered by artist residences, thereby traveling almost half of the world. Lately, his art is better known in Indonesia,[3] Malaysia,[4] China and Japan[5] than in Latvia, because he has lived and worked while travelling abroad extensively.[6] In his art Ilgvars Zalans focuses on images and motifs that are fundamental, archetypal, and universal in human experience, as opposed to those that are socially determined.[7] The exhibitions of the artist regularly take place in Latvia [8][9] and abroad.[10][11] In 2015 his works were showcased at the Scope Basel and Scope Miami Beach art shows during the ArtBasel weeks and at Art Copenhagen, the Scandinavia's International Art Fair for Contemporary & Modern Art.[12][13]
