Imitation Marlene (2011) Sculpture by Viktor Sheleg

Viktor Sheleg is a contemporary Latvian artist. His personal viewpoint, which examines the conformist culture of the society he encounters before transforming it into a fascinating artistic aesthetic, serves as the foundation for his creative outlook. His shadowy, suggestive portrayals of women strike an intriguing mix between conformity and freedom in both form and content.

Sheleg exhibited his works in Latvia, Russia, Finland, USA, Czech Republic, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Polan, Italy, and has taken part in numerous important art fairs, including: Art Ireland, Dublin, Art Zurich International, Art Edinburgh, The Affordable Art Fair, London, Art Melbourne, Affordable Art Fair, Paris, Glasgow Art Fair, Edinburgh Art Fair, Affordable Art Fair Brussels, AAF NYC, AAF Amsterdam.
