Compass Drawing

Gedvile Bunikyte (b. 1984, Kaunas) is a visual artist currently living and working in Vilnius, Vienna and London. Gedvile’s body of work consists primarily of works on paper. The artistic practice is perceived as a meditative process that is deeply influenced by the artist’s interests in philosophy, psychology, religions, mysticism and spirituality. Ancient spiritual writings, texts on non-duality, physics, especially theories and writings of the physicist David Bohm, philosophy, writers such as the poet William Yeats and the 18th century scientist Emanuel Swedenborg as well as art that dates back thousands of years, such as prehistoric origin cave paintings, early religious and mystical art and more recent Art movements from the XX century such as Suprematism altogether form Gedvile’s main source of inspiration. This is the basis of her conceptual and theoretical foundations that are consequently converted into geometric abstract drawings.
