We are cordially inviting You to Lithuanian Interdisciplinary Artists’ Association’s member’s K\u0119stutis Lupeikis personal exhibition at Artists\u2019 Association Gallery (Vokie\u010di\u0173 g. 3, Vilnius) on 2015 10 30 \u2013 11 13.
\nOpening: 2015 10 30 6 pm.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Exhibition is composed of oil paintings inspired by well-known rock and roll songs, such as The Beatles \u201cCOME TOGETHER\u201d, Nazareth \u201cWHISKY DRINKING WOMAN\u201d, Ozzy Osbourne \u201cDREAMER\u201d, Soundgarden \u201cBLACK HOLE SUN\u201d, etc.<\/p>\n
In order to, at least partially, convey the mood that surrounds the author while painting, exhibition\u2019s sound background is made up of songs that inspired creation of paintings and are continuously played at the workshop.<\/p>\n
Paintings are not a direct illustration \/ imaging of the music. Musical work is a key that allows to glimpse the idea on canvas. The idea is usually ironic, conceptually provoking the viewer to perceive the painting virtually, indirectly, it allows creation of unique, personal vision or illusion.<\/p>\n
Most of the works were created during 2013 \u2013 2015. They are a continuation of K. Lupeikis\u2019 creative platform being developed for three decades. Works have a characteristic free flowing paint, limited colouring, abstract archetypical configurations, as if flowing from author\u2019s consciousness, having signs of deep symbolism. It is not aimed to make paintings look, particularly, beautiful nor disgusting. Connections with works of music conceptualize and contextualize the paintings. Conceptualism is in the content, and not in extreme means of expression (there is no elephant excrement nor blood or something similar).<\/p>\n
Title chosen for the exhibition \u201cCOME TOGETHER \/ EIME KARTU\u201d is the title of one of the works and reflects desire to close one self in \u201cglass tower\u201d, but to communicate.<\/p>\n
\u201c…painting \u2013 as if language…, …and that smell…, …and that flow, …and I want to paint because it’s fun, it drives, even though it might not be in trend but I know a lot of people who love it…, …and even if some predict the doom of painting – it still keeps on existing and existing…\u201c<\/p>\n
