We are happy to see that the Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists’ Association is actively growing! Saskia Fischer, Rokas Pralgauskas, Rokas Janušonis, Greta Eimulytė, Diana Remeikytė, Dainius Trumpis, Algirdas Jakas have recently joined us.

More about them individually:

Saskia Fischer – artist’s interdisciplinary practice is characterized by artistic research within queer-feminist discourses, architectural theory and the contestation of a binary concept of nature. Saskia studied fine art at Goldsmiths, University of London (2018), photography at Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen (2015), and attended courses in glass art and sculpture and installation at Estonian Academy of Arts (2014).

Rokas Pralgauskas – a striking feature of Rokas Pralgauskas’s work is the distinctive and subtle line of absurdist humour, which can be seen in different forms in many of his projects. The artist does not limit himself to one medium, but seeks the interconnection of image and text, creates objects, video and sound installations, and recently has been working consistently on medium-format paintings.

Rokas Janušonis – (b. 1997) – an artist born and raised in Alytus, currently living in Vilnius. Artist’s works question the clichés and functions associated with ceramics. Looking at clay as a universal, plastic material, a tool to express an idea, the artist combines ceramics with drawing. In creating sculptural objects, the artist explores the interaction between sculptural forms and drawing, looking for unexpected abstract elements, the relationship between colour and line, and attempts to discover the place of ceramic craft in the field of contemporary art in general.

Greta Eimulytė – artist’s creative strategy is based on the search for a balance between analytical and intuitive approaches: freely interpreted research strategies create a network of information and knowledge; themes are examined through historical, social and cultural prisms; yet the content is linked by a distinctive, authentic and poetic language, metaphors, and only implicit actions and narratives.

Diana Remeikytė – (b. 1996) is a graphic artist, not limited to one medium. She explores watercolour, painting,
weaves carpets using taffeta technique, experiments with natural colour pigments and materials, creates video art.
Her works form cycles that are linked by themes. Her work draws on literature, personal experience and theatre.
She chooses one or two works from the series and uses them to weave large-format textile paintings.
Since 2021 she has been collaborating with Contour Art Gallery.

Dainius Trumpis – in artist’s artistic research he analyse the states of liminal reality, the repetitions of various senses, the opposition of nature and emptiness in the chaos of man-controlled objects, and the fragments of visual memory in our consciousness. Personal website

Algirdas Jakas – artist’s artistic practice focuses on the blending of care, collective anxiety and different forms of self-diagnosis. Often using materials related to hobbies or therapeutic activities and combining them with drawing techniques, he explores individual self-help practices through “instruments of anxiety”. He is also interested in the translucency of the body and its datafication, as well as in technologies of hope. This is often mixed with the history and specificity of the project site and becomes an additional part of the research. Personal website
