9The exhibition „Synonym of Reminiscence“ by Andrius Zakarauskas runs until 21st of February, 2016 at the gallery „si:said“ (Darzu str. 18, Klaipeda, Lithuania).

Term „synonym of reminiscence“ in other words means something, what we remember. It seems, that it should indicate the same words, but it caries the same meaning or similar sound. The circle of paintings by Andrius Zakarauskas connects reminiscence and synonym in visual way.  Reminiscence characterizes permanence, clarity, immutability and defined boundaries. Something, what we remember remains stable, it doesn’t get new shapes, connections or has not previously unnoticed details. Memories are obvious and returning.

Harmony between synonym and reminiscence in Andrius‘ paintings leads to regular swing, stability, variations and identity, to the connection point of variable stability and constant volatility. Andrius tries to create, give and open up new sense of it.=
