About The Artwork

Portrait of Jurgis (George) Mačiūnas. Lithuanian-born American artist. He was a founding member and the central coordinator of Fluxus, an international community of artists, architects, composers, and designers. „Painting collection „Characters“. Ten portraits represent ten personalities. Their life stories, (sometimes) tragic life events, devotion to creativity and people inspire and encourage me not to be a part of this society that only floats downstream. I begin to acknowledge the fear of being “consumed”, of becoming yet another dull particle of the society. Ten personalities portrayed in the collection are: Vitas Luckus “Vitas” (1943 – 1987); Justinas Mikutis “Justinas” (1922 – 1988); Artūras Barysas – Baras “Artūras” (1954 – 2005); Jurgis Mačiūnas “Jurgis” (1931 – 1978); Charles Bukowski “Bukas” (1920 – 1994); Vilius Orvidas “Vilius” (1952 – 1992); Vytautas Mačernis “Vytautas” (1921 – 1944); Thomas Alan Waits “Mrs Tom”(1949); Anna Politkovskaya “My Ana” (1958 – 2006); Roger Keith “Syd” Barrett “”Syd” (1946 – 2006). All of them were perceived as eccentrics by the society. However, they were all unique, their simplicity was intact, and they were all human, self-contained or open to everyone. All of them fought the consumer society, its coldness, cruelty, stupidity and lack of tolerance.

Portrayal of a person and portrait painting to me is not only a way to access the world that surrounds me, but also a retrospect of the evolution of my own existence and its meaning. Portrait painting is a genre that allows exploring the individual being, searching for answers and abandoning oneself to gains and losses. As my artistic field of view widens, I dare to abandon the road of personal existential contemplation and take the side path by exploring the surroundings, the people, evaluating the problems of my own compatibility with the society. While on this path, I begin the search for characters, figures and artists that took part in shaping my own personality.
