Art critic on…<\/h4>\n

K\u0119stutis Lupeikis joined the artist group Angis at the time of Rimvydas Jankauskas-Kampas\u2019 death, so his debut was sort of unremarked. Later yet the artist much strengthened the more reasoned part of the group\u2019s artists . He disequilibrated the group\u2019s forces. His conceptualism and minimalism, his artistic attitude, hallucinogenic, though not detached from reality, opposed against romantic Angis\u2019 artists, preventing them from dreams about themselves. The maturity of artistic development, this was his contribution.<\/p>\n
