Eternity that lies in the graphite 2016-03-23
The images and smell of the Small version of the great chaos remains in the memory for a long time and, without a doubt, encourages to (get to) know, to create your own galaxy and perhaps even destroy it. It is a game of contemporary art, which artist E. Markūnas invites to play and develop, because creation is not a finite phenomenon. It continues in the viewer's mind.
Glass portraits, signs and hand prints at the Kaunas Castle 2016-03-17
S. Grabliauskaitė's exhibition at the Kaunas Castle is intriguing and slightly surrealistic. This feeling is strengthened by enlarged photographs (as well as objects depicted in them). Artist explains the latter as her need to not only convey the creative process but also to highlight it as an integral part of the art for the viewer.

The search for authentic portrait in the works of Gataveckai 2016-03-07
The exhibition of brothers Algirdas and Remigijus Gataveckai "Self-portraits - homonyms", which was opened at the Kaunas POST gallery has recently ended. The exhibition presented the most recent artists' works, indicating a new phase in their oeuvre. Although, the exhibition is over, I hope this text will still appear to be relevant, at least for those who are less familiar with the artists' works, because I will not only review the exhibition but Gataveckai oeuvre more generally.

Letters written on canvas 2016-02-29
The painter Gintautas Vaičys presents the exhibition Letters from Nemunas at the Kaunas State Philharmonic. The ehibition features works created during the period of 2005-2015.

Landscapes "scraped" from the memory and pallet 2016-02-26
Agnė Liškauskienė's works complement the current field of Kaunas (and not only) painting. However, in them, we will not discover new conceptual moves, rather a long-tested and approved modernist abstraction of nature, savoring of color, brush stroke and unexpected variations of compositions.
Best artwork of the year. Is it, really? 2016-02-23
The exhibition The Best Artwork of the Year held traditionally at Kaunas Picture Gallery is necessary in the Kaunas art context. Not because it attracts a lot of visitors, but because it is important to see how artists live. Unfortunately, exhibition was especially lacking young authors who would boldly represent their work. It seems as if they had disappeared or they are afraid to compete with the old-timers. However, the older generation is not afraid to experiment and impress the viewer.
A look at the poeticized world of A. Petrašiūnaitė's paintings 2016-02-22
In the painterly world of A. Petrašiūnaitė dialog is of the utmost importance - between human and nature, a subtle and playful presentation of the relationship between the painter's beloved cat and herself. However, the image that artist presents in her work is temporary and fragile; it opens up through the human image and the fragments and details of the surrounding world.
