Event description
Darius Hecqas-Cauquil was born in 1950 in Charleroi, on the River Sambre in south-west Belgium. At the age of 12, he began studying tapestry with his mother, Yvette Cauquil-Prince, a renowned weaver who wove tapestries based on the works of Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst and other famous artists. His father, Emile Hecq, was a painter. Darius Hecqas-Cauquil has been participating in exhibitions since 1976. He has had over 40 solo exhibitions in France, Belgium, Spain, Japan and other countries. His works are included in French national collections, including the Pompidou National Centre for Art and Culture. This is the first time that Hecqo-Cauquil's work has been presented in Lithuania. The exhibition "Returning to the Origins" features 20 of the artist's works, including a tapestry, compositions on canvas made of sawdust and oil on canvas, and wood sculptures decorated with oil on stone or wood smoothed by the waves of the sea.
