European art glass panorama in the project European Glass Context 2016 2016-10-12

Raimonda Simanaitienė

This autumn, it is still possible to visit one of the most important European ceramics and glass biennials taking place in Denmark, Bornholm. This year it is dedicated to glass art, thus the official title of this year's biennial is European Glass Context 2016. The author of this article has visited the biennial for the fifth time, because that is how many times she has worked with the key Danish authors organizing this European project.

Neemija Arbit Blatas: Lithuanian shtetl in Paris 2016-09-26

Ramūnas Čičelis

Almost all the Litvak artists of the first half of the 20th century who started their life in soon to be or already independent Lithuania, later immigrated to Paris, France. It is impossible to understand the phenomenon they had created there without knowing about the Litvak shtetl tradition.

Andrius Pukis about injecting Kaunas with contemporary art 2016-09-22

Interview by Jurga Tumasonytė

I met the sculptor, founder and a curator of POST gallery Andrius Pukis in Laisvės Avenue, when the strong August wind was whipping our hair. Gallery's three-year anniversary was only a couple of days away. "During those years we had so many different images, so we decided to leave the walls empty - instead of an exhibition - and fill the place with a lot of smoke," Andrius explained.

Autumn, dedicated to the painter Arūnas Vaitkūnas 2016-09-15

Astijus Krauleidis-Vermontas

"Everything vanishes - old or saturated with the breath of life. I am only interested in the old real things, old houses, historical, sacred places. Many events seem to have been imprinted in them and those imprints attract me. Contemporary objects don't yet have a history," said painter Arūnas Vaitkūnas (1956–2005). Art lovers have an opportunity to get acquainted with his relevant art phenomenon in Kaunas throughout September.

Fragments of E. Varkulevičius-Varkalis' exhibition. Rymantas Penkauskas' photo.

Sometimes painting occurs without a brush 2016-08-24

Kristina Budrytė-Genevičė

As far as I remember, Eugenijus Varkulevičius-Varkalis was always traveling - with words, on foot or mystically painting (mystically, as it is unlikely that he uses the brush as often as other painters). All his oral narratives revolve around the road. And they started a long time ago, probably, during the childhood years, when he would model cities, towns or battle fields out of plasticine, in detail, to the "very last tile." The imagined world later on moved to the West, where he went in order to return back home.

Kazimieras Žoromskis: landscape in abstraction - is it possible? 2016-08-22

Ramūnas Čičelis

A distinctive art style - pop art - formed in Great Britain, in the 60s. Art critics attribute Lithuanian-American artist Kazimieras Žoromskis' works to this specific style. K. Žoromskis, as one of the pop artists, is very distinctive. His painting is only partially connected to the works and ideas of Andy Warhol and other global stars.

Berlin contemporary art biennial's central exhibition location - Berlin Art Academy

Berlin contemporary art biennial resonances 2016-08-08

Raimonda Simanaitienė

The 9th Berlin Biennial - one of the most famous European contemporary art exhibitions - this year is taking place from June to September. It seems that we visit it less than the popular Venice biennial, Documenta in Kassel or Manifesto which constantly changes its location. After all, it is quite paradoxical: Berlin is not that far from Lithuania and the biennial project organized there is as good as the mentioned exhibitions, both with its size and the artistic intrigue.

Agnė Liškauskienė. Post '96 landscape, 100 x 120, oil, acrylic on canvas, 2015

Painter Agnė Liškauskienė, "The condition for creation is racing against time" 2016-08-04

Interview by Dovilė Stirbytė

Artist Agnė Liškauskienė draws the motifs for her canvases - free from literary narrations or social contexts - from the surrounding nature. She subtly abstracts the objects and phenomena met in reality to a conceptual sign or simply a color field, turning their identification into a very difficult task. Often, the only thing that helps overcome it, is the title of the work.

T. Buric's installation The Sign After at the Kaunas Town Hall Square. Milda Gineikaitė's photo

Croatian artist Tvrtko Buric, "I simply raise questions" 2016-07-30

Interview by Simona Zvicevičiūtė

Participant in the international CreArt project, Croatian artist T. Buric presented his two works in Kaunas: an installation Human Landscape in the exhibition at the Kaunas Arts Incubator Ars et mundus and an installation The Sign After at the Kaunas Town Hall Square as an accompanying project, which is mostly discussed during this interview. By the way, the persons that stole the installation, turned it more into a short-term artistic action.

V. Rudinskaitė-Juodzevičienė's abstract world of colors and signs 2016-07-29

Gabrielė Kuizinaitė

The abstract idea in V. Rudinskaitė-Juodzevičienė's works - like in many abstractionist painters’ works - is expressed through colors and indefinable forms. In the corner or the middle of the plane, the details and signs of the drawing turn into symbols, create the inner story which becomes apparent through color nuances and an idea encoded in the coloring.
