\u0100rija Skudra\u2019s first personal exhibition introduces an artist who worked as a designer at the Hat and Felt Products Factory \u201cR\u012bgas Filcs\u201d for many years, where she created standard hat models that were later mass-produced for society at large \u2013 for children, women of various age groups, and men. As a result, it can be said that for several decades a large part of Latvia\u2019s population wore hats designed by \u0100rija Skudra.<\/p>\n

The artist\u2019s designs were regularly featured in fashion shows organised by the Riga Fashion House; however, her name \u2013 like those of many designers working with mass-produced items \u2013 remained unmentioned. This exhibition is therefore a deliberate step towards inscribing \u0100rija Skudra\u2019s name into the history of Latvian design of the second half of the 20th century.<\/p>\n

\u0100rija Skudra received secondary art education at the J. Rozent\u0101ls Riga Art High School but was unable to pursue higher education. Alongside her work as a designer, she developed a second field of creative activity \u2013 painting. She participated not in the professional art scene, but in exhibitions organised by amateur artists, presenting landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and figurative compositions executed in oil.<\/p>\n

Her most significant artistic achievement, however, lies in her work with the batik technique, which she practised from the 1970s until the beginning of the 21st century. These works are distinctly decorative, characterised by a virtuoso rhythm of lines and a high degree of generalisation in both natural and human motifs.<\/p>\n

The exhibition features selected press photographs, materials from Riga Fashion House magazines, and a collection of the artist\u2019s batik works.<\/p>\n
