\"\"<\/a>Pranas Dom\u0161aitis Gallery of the LNMA invites to the opening of an exhibition Flower, Fruit, and Thorn Pieces<\/i> of contemporary artwork centered on plant theme. Akvil\u0117 Anglickait\u0117, curator of the event, will invite its visitors to contemplate on the role of nature in the work of contemporary artists. Is the theme of nature a form of escape from information noise and ecological threats? The exhibition will run through 2 March 2025.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cArt has an immense potential to enlighten, to give the joy of discovery and the sense of the meaning of life. I am very happy that increasingly more individuals can gain this joy of awareness and find inspiring experience at the Lithuanian National Museum of Art, including those individuals whose disabilities restrict them one way or another. I am pleased to be able to invite to this new exhibition <\/span>Flower, Fruit, and Thorn Pieces<\/span><\/i> the people who experience this world differently,\u201d Dr <\/span>Ar\u016bnas Gel\u016bnas, director general of the LNMA welcomes the exhibition with a caring attitude.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fourteen artists featured by the exhibition\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n

\u201cThese days when our environment is technology-overloaded as never before, when AI is a constant theme of popular discussion, all of a sudden, blossoms, grass blades, fruit, root and stalks invade the artistic work… These artists on display use images of plants to speak of the present time, with its issues and sensibilities. The stages of plants\u2019 life in these works reflect human experiences and emotions,\u201d exhibition curator Akvil\u0117 Anglickait\u0117 says.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition features fourteen artists: Vitalijus \u010cerviakovas, Uliana Damkiene, Adomas Danusevi\u010dius, Tomas Dauk\u0161a, Vytautas Juoz\u0117nas, Gintas Kavoli\u016bnas, Viktorija Makauskait\u0117, Marija Marcelionyt\u0117-Paliuk\u0117, Donata Minderyt\u0117, R\u016bta Spelskyt\u0117, Varvara Spilt, Marija \u0160nipait\u0117, Daumantas Plechavi\u010dius and Aist\u0117 Vali\u016bt\u0117. According to the curator, these artists subtly trace a fine line that separates and unites these two different fragile worlds, human and natural.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Visitors to the exhibition <\/span>Flower, Fruit, and Thorn Pieces <\/span><\/i>will encounter a broad and diverse picture of experiences, representing different mind-sets and geographic areas. The youngest participant, the Ukrainian artist Varvara Spilt speaks about war in Ukraine, Marija Marcelionyt\u0117-Paliuk\u0117 in her graphic prints evokes the experience of quarantine, installed centrally is one of Tomas Dauk\u0161a\u2019s joy fountains, while the photography by the architect and artist Viktorija Makauskait\u0117 features Tokyo fence sides \u201cspeaking\u201d in verse.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese and other many works, despite being so different in the form of expression and ideas, nevertheless converge on one thematic point. This will direct the audience to contemplate what we can say through the shape of a plant, its inner structure, their spreading and function. How a plant serves as starting point to create imaginary worlds, or how the observation of nature and plants brings one closer to earth,\u201d Anglickait\u0117 says.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Anglickait\u0117, the artists participating in the exhibition seek to increase the inclusivity of the exhibition. \u201eEvery participant of the exhibition has considered how their artwork could be presented to blind or weak-sighted visitors of the gallery. It was an addition layer of the display, expanding the field of experience even for those who can see.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The visual pieces on display are accompanied by sound tracks, which tell the story of the creation of these works, sculpture pieces and objects displayed next to their works are meant to touch.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
