Opis wydarzenia
After graduating from the Lithuanian Art Institute in 1974, Jonas Daniliauskas taught at the Čiurlionis Art School, the Lithuanian Art Institute and Vilnius College. The artist has held exhibitions in Baden (Switzerland), Zurich (Switzerland), Greifswald (Germany), Warsaw, London, and has participated in group exhibitions in Finland, Denmark, Germany, the USA, India, Turkey and France. His works have been acquired by the National M. K. Čiurlionis Museum of Art, the Latvian National Museum of Art, the Warsaw Art Exhibition Bureau, the National Museum of Art in Poznan, the Museum of Modern Art in Cologne, and private collectors in Lithuania and abroad. Jonas Daniliauskas, known as the Lithuanian Chagall, is one of our country's foremost colourists. Although many call his work coherent and consistent, the artist himself believes that it has changed over the years, despite the fact that many of the motifs and themes remain from his youth. The artist's works do not shy away from scenes of love, and a great deal of attention is paid to women, who float in the air like angel's wings. The main themes are images of fate, loneliness, the unity of man and nature, and of a village that has gone and is going. "The exhibition will be on view at the Laiptai Gallery (Žemaitės str. 83, Šiauliai) until 9 March.
