Exhibited paintings were created between the 1970s and the late 1990s. The exhibition features vivid still lives, small towns and landscapes. Paintings are united by Bush's approach to depiction of a nature - although basically paintings have been made in the plenary and at the studio is just finished, Bush has not sought to portray an exact image of a nature. 

"The paintings style of Valdis Bušs is bright, it is a striking figurative movement of the soul in color with great emotional and vital strength. The combined seemingly incompatible tones appeal through their special language of color, creating a pictorially dreamlike world in the vibrant , colour saturated patches of paint. Herein lies his strength." /Ilda Silis/
