Dostliev and Dostlieva: Making it through Lanscape
Exhibition Andrii Dostliev and Lia Dostlieva: Making it through the landscape
Siegen. On Sunday the Artgalerie opened the exhibition "Going through the landscape" of the Ukrainian artist couple Lia Dostlieva and Andrii Dostliev. Landscape is explored in the exhibition as a field of tension between identity and collective memory.
Artist couple Lia Dostlieva and Andrii Dostliev present a compelling exhibition that explores themes of historical landscape, identity, violence, and collective memory. Through their unique blend of imagination and artistic expression, the artists transcend the boundaries of time and space to uncover the hidden layers of the past and weave a vivid narrative that illuminates the complexity of our shared human experience.
Drawing on their extensive experience in fine art and conceptual photography, Lia and Andrii have developed a series of projects that engage the viewer on multiple levels and provoke thought. The exhibition pays homage to the power of art as a vehicle for social commentary, as it explores the importance and influence of landscape in shaping our perception of the world around us. From the scars of war to the legacy of colonialism, the artists use their medium to explore the fragmentation of identity and collective memory. They draw on a wide range of historical sources and cultural influences to create a rich and complex visual tapestry.
