"At night we dream. A wonderful, blissful dream where we take off and fly. We become light, we see another world. From above, as observers, leaving all problems far, far away. And we fly. Without wings. Or maybe with invisible wings. With wings of thoughts. Let us grow wings. We just have to want them badly. Then let's fly to the land of dreams. From the dark night to the dawn" - this is how the author introduces his new exhibition, which has never been shown anywhere before. Bangutis Prapuolenis was born in 1961 in Kaunas.
