The works presented in Andrius Zakarauskas’s exhibition "Double" reveal doubling as a conscious artistic method, one that unsettles the static image and explores the idea of an image within an image. It is a strategy the artist has been developing consistently, allowing him to produce a tremor in the image, optical tension, and the illusion of movement. By placing two close, and at times identical, elements side by side, the image begins to pulse, as if existing between two states. Through doubling, the artist does not freeze a specific moment; instead, he expands it, making visible not only the ...

As the festive season approaches, we invite you to look sensitively at the nature around us and discover its beauty. A special exhibition of Laima Dzigaitė’s herb-based graphics, „Pakviestiems į Tylą“ has opened at the Angel Museum. “Herbs are like visible signs of an invisible Creator, revealing paradise on earth. With my artworks, I want to speak about the importance of loving and marveling at the wonderful nature we have been given. I create only in winter, when life in nature fades — in my studio the herbs are reborn into a different kind of life,” says Laima Dzigaitė. ...

For nearly twenty years, however, she has used an unusual method that the artist V. Žukas has called “herb graphics”: ...

“Ever since my gymnasium years, I have been tormented by the question: what is this thing we call life? What is the meaning of human existence? What is the future of humankind? I cared deeply that the chance to exist in a world full of beauty and wonder would not pass by in vain. One must contribute at least a small part of oneself. When I became a literature lecturer, I discovered how badly we lacked visual material about the founders of our literature and its more prominent writers—material that helps spark interest and enables a deeper understanding of ...
