The tandem of Kaidos Ole's and Jonas Gasiūnas is testing itself for the fourth time in the joint exhibition. Even though they are artists of completely different expressions, they meet every time where nature begins to lose its identity, where the necessity of a conscious bluff arises, where any trace of authenticity exposes itself, where form, style and genre no longer allow trust. Meanwhile, Gasiūn's giant "Refugee" didn't even know where he was anymore. In the works of the latter, this macabre feeling is revealed by an effort to dismantle the hierarchy of classical colorist painting in its own way: abstract, forever dispersing black smoke remains the only character creating the plot, the only trace of materiality, which hides emptiness as much as mocks it.
Approaching a state of almost sacred absurdity, the works of these artists highlight the gray zone in which we find ourselves constantly negotiating with reality - between devotion and cynical denial, between naïve optimism and clear defeat.
