These days we are overwhelmed by abundant ideas on ecology and often tend to look at the surrounding world through fashionable lens of sustainability. This way we level out many different possible approaches and impose on art didactic, moralizing functions. Yet art is not supposed to perform such. The interest by Algimantas Jonas Kuras and by his generation, now senior artists, in the theme of the commonplace has been inspired by their search for individual aesthetics and revolt against the official culture of the time. It is interesting to me, how we perceive his art these days, in the world of eco-catastrophic omens and predictions. It is also interesting what the young artists make of these ideas. I hope that this juxtaposition of two exhibitions gives the public a chance to experience the values adhered to by different generations and provokes the viewer to reflect critically,\u201d the exhibition curator says.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Kuras: you can paint nothing but things, and they will speak of people\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Random rusted fractions of machinery sticking in the grass, some strange, almost unrecognizable industrial objects disfigured by time, pointing to the gloomier side of the progress of civilization, are recurrent motifs by Algimantas Kuras (b. 1960). He revisits them with consistency for over sixty years. Yet Kuras\u2019s interest in the debris and waste discarded in natural surroundings is anchored primarily not on his concern for ecology, but the artist\u2019s sensitivity to the aesthetic drama arising from the counterpoint.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cI have searched for something that is truly constant. Sky and the earth struck me as most constant and most powerful. It is not about ecology. I am fascinated with the fate of things; there is so much expressiveness about the process of decay. When I paint, I pursue no goals, be it ecologic, political or moral. I do not want to educate anyone. When I see scrap metal, an oily <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">carburettor, a bent bicycle frame, I am overtaken by a double feeling. I first think who was the bastard to dump it all here. But then my thought is attracted by the drama of the situation, the contrast between the everlasting nature and these things, which are past their life. I get attracted by the uncommonness of these things, the dance of lines, shapes, shadows\u201d, the artist shares his thoughts.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The artist is attracted by useless things past their life but with a story. \u201cA brand-new item is almost of no interest to me as an artist. But the things that afterwards come to live among people, acquire a meaning and become nearly symbolical. It is possible to paint but things, and their stories will be no inferior to those humans tell,\u201d \u2013 the artist says.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Hymn to a Broken Smile\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It is the first retrospective of Algimantas Jonas Kuras. The exhibition of an unprecedented scope is composed of the painter\u2019s artwork lent by the Lithuanian art museums, private collections, and the artist himself. It features his paintings, graphic art, assemblages. In addition, the exhibition provides an opportunity to look through Kuras\u2019s texts. These introduce into his ideas and their development as well as the key creative principles that laid the foundations for postmodernist thinking in visual arts in Lithuania.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The artist initially with a rural background has developed a unique aesthetic sensibility, branded by the art critics as \u201cjunk poetry\u201d. \u201cThe real protagonist of these paintings is time, which dooms the material existence to decay and is constantly reminding of its transience. Only two elements are stable and unchanging \u2013 the earth and sky. Between them \u2013 just a second of a smile,\u201d Jolanta Marci\u0161auskyt\u0117-Jura\u0161ien\u0117 explains the title of the exhibition.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lndm.devmerit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1500x794.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-53048 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/lndm.devmerit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1500x794.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"794\" \/><\/a>Unknow mushrooms and predictable consequences\u00a0<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559685&quot;:-20,&quot;335559737&quot;:-20,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The retrospective of Algimantas Jonas Kuras is accompanied by an exhibition <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Unknown Mushrooms<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> by Andrej Polukord (b. 1990) representing interdisciplinary art.

The practice and promotion of the consumption system is a waste of resources, resulting in involution, and not evolution, which is putting the resources towards achieving some higher goals (like making discoveries). What else, if not discoveries move humanity forward and open new opportunities? The practice of such a \u201cwell-being\u201d creates the feeling of a constant \u201cinsufficiency\u201d, \u201cof nothing being enough\u201d. The troubles of the world are the result of this practice,\u201d the artist shares his perceptions of contemporary world.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:-20,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Not only a successful mushroom hunter, but also a collector of mushrooms, the artist introduces his exhibition visitors into new, invasive mushroom species, which were grown industrially and sown by people in the forest.
