ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Jurgis Tarabilda’s abstract paintings are often illusionistic and unfold unexpectedly in the viewer’s eyes when the latter believes what they see. Often, at first glance, he is confused and looks around in space trying to understand where the shadow falls from, or where one or another line begins. Although at first glance it seems that the artist’s works contain a lot of technical methodology and precise process, his work is born from an intuitive sense of the environment.
The artist subtly uses the possibilities of shadow and texture in his paintings to create a physically experienced plane that seems real and tangible. J. Tarabilda captures intangible moments and locks them on the surface of the canvas.
In the works, he does not try to represent something concrete, they do not refer to certain contexts or themes, nor do they provide visual material for an external idea or conceptual feeling. J. Tarabilda’s works represent themselves, become objects that interact with space, become part of it, thus supplementing or extending it.
In the works of the artist, we will meet few colors, sometimes they are monochrome, this helps the artist to think about painting as an object, as a medium in which he allows us to feel an unusual sense of spatiality. The interaction between the color and the white, untouched canvas is necessary for the creation of the work. These white areas are structures that dissolve the boundaries between the space of the work and the space in which they are exhibited.
This exhibition presents the author’s paintings of recent years, as well as objects rarely exhibited elsewhere.
