Don't miss the opportunity to visit the solo exhibition "The Abscence of the Present" by our represented artist Gytis Arošius at the Pamėnkalnio Gallery.
"In the exhibition, the author examines the relationship between the present, past failures, and future expectations, using both specific images and the representational technique itself as a hint to other cultural texts and contexts. Here, the society living in an anxious age becomes important, its mistrust of the present time, and its desire to escape are answered – the distraction between nostalgia and hope. Apparently, the present time is implausible, abstract, creating a veil of illusion, mitigating inner confusion, maybe because what is present equates to artificiality. After all, in a world saturated with visual noise, where tangibility often tries to overshadow the intangible, ephemeral, not always recognizable silhouettes keep emerging, tempting the present to embrace the unknown."
