On 22nd of November (Wednesday), 7 PM at Pamėnkalnis gallery (Pamėnkalnis str 1, Vilnius), the exhibition „Private conversation“ by the painter Rosanda Sorakaitė is opened. The exhibition will be open until December 12th.
The young artist has been noticed in the field of painting at her early years of studying, and has spectacularly got into the ranks of the most appreciated young Lithuanian artists: has held seven personal exhibitions, participated in tens of curated exhibitions and arts fairs, earned various awards, one of them – Young Painter‘s Prize (2016).
R.Sorakaitė is interested in everyday esthetics in her paintings, directing her sight to emphatically simple, typical objects from living environment. Minimalistic, fragmented way of portraying, haziness and dusk in R.Sorakaitė‘s paintings create a narrative of flash, allow to speak about laconism of the past and memory. The existance in the artist‘s works is revealed as if through insignificant and random moments, which have the ability to move the viewer to a methaphysical space, requiring experience of emotional intelligence.
According to the author, the works come from the observations of the closest environment, thinking about the past: „Sometimes a motive comes randomdly, sometimes I watch it for a while, but in both cases there is some kind of a short flash, that allows me to understand, that this moment is in allignment with an inner thought, maybe intangible still, just anticipated. The process of painting itself immerses you to a no longer existant time, and you are alone, just by yourself. Painting – it‘s like talking to someone really close to you, when you are frank and true.“
