The idiom of the female avant-garde artist\u00a0\u00a0<\/h6>\n

Zimblyt\u0117 is one of the pioneers of abstract painting in Lithuania, and her current exhibition offers the viewers a closer familiarity with her unorthodox avant-garde approach in visual art. The artist\u2019s creative ideas gave rise to her distinct idiom of expression. Zimblyt\u0117 used a diversity of structural solutions for her compositions, dominated by either dark or light colour.\u00a0 She used all kinds of paints, working in oils, watercolour, gouache on canvas, paper or cardboard, and married painting with collage and assemblage, gluing pieces of torn canvas, paper, hide, sheets of foil to the painted surface.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the curator Nijol\u0117 Nev\u010desauskien\u0117, the sharp contrasts in her solutions open the artist\u2019s unique world of visions, poised somewhere between psychological states of loneliness on the one hand, and reality with its material dimensions on the other. The artist wanted to introduce the dimension of space as well by either darkening or brightening colour around the edges of paintings or gluing sheets of glittery or lacquer-coated paper positioned in the corners to expand the visual space. Paper on canvas functions as a fragile membrane, as butterfly wings that perish over time, destroyed by dust or physical impact.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond the conventional art\u00a0\u00a0<\/h6>\n

Born in the village of Bried\u017ei\u016bnai, the future artist studied textile at Vilnius Art Institute. Later she was employed by Vilnius Arts\/Design Central Workshops, where she designed textiles and fabrics. From 1959, she embarked on a period of intense participation in group exhibitions, all-Lithuania events, exhibitions by female artists, applied arts events. Her colourful, decorative designs were exhibited abroad as well, in Poland, Russia, Japan, Germany, France and elsewhere. However, during soviet years, <\/span>Zimblyt\u0117\u2019s abstractions were banned from all official visual arts events. At the time, no public venues in Lithuania accepted her solo exhibitions, either. Like other avant-garde artists, Linas Katinas, Vincas Kisarauskas and others, she gave her solo events at private or semi-private locations, for example, Judita and Vytautas \u0160eriai salon, Vilnius\u2019 cinema theatres, the building of the Lithuanian Writers\u2019 Union.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The rise of the independence movement S\u0105j\u016bdis and the reestablished independence of Lithuania was the most opportune time for the artist. In 1988, she gave her first official solo exhibition at the main exhibition venue at the time in Vilnius, called \u2018Exhibition Palace\u2019. Lietuvos Aidas Gallery hosted several events by the artist.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition <\/span>Abstractions: Between Moods and the World<\/span><\/i> at <\/span>the Pranas Dom\u0161aitis Gallery of the LNMA includes also photographic images by Zimblyt\u0117, showing her unique avant-garde performances. They were staged by the artist in the late 1960s in Vilnius, in the private garden of <\/span>Vladas Vild\u017ei\u016bnas and Marija Ladigait\u0117-Vild\u017ei\u016bnien\u0117<\/span> in Jeruzal\u0117 region<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
