We are excited to announce the solo show of Lithuanian artist Vytautas Kumža.

The content of Vytautas Kumža’s works showcase his obsession with seemingly mundane objects and situations; capturing and reinforcing the feeling of absurdity or strangeness in unstable, illusory and sometimes deceptive moments of everyday life. Using a variety of materials – glass, metal, epoxy, hair, mirrors and colored foil, the artist creates a strange resonance environment, a space of reflection that disrupts the relationship of these objects, generating new meanings. This stages conversations between objects that remain mute, anticipating a space where things activate each other through performativity, between the realms of the animated and the lifeless.

The installations thus created, become these enigmatic constructs, which both deceive our eyes and invite us to decipher their meaning.
