kamilė česnavičiūtė

With vibrant, intuitive color palettes and atemporal figurative compositions, the paintings of Kamilė Česnavičiūtė study the limitations of self by exploring speculative images. Human-like bodies, non-human bodies and strange environments create an open-ended collective, often presenting unaccustomed scenes. A horizontal way of seeing earth and its inhabitants is important to evoke clarity in all ambiguously depicted subjects, known or unknown. To embrace relationality on earth, the paintings hold various traces between the subjects. With few indications of pictorial depth, distinctions between solid ground and atmosphere are blurred, so that space or gravity is elusive.

Kamilės Česnavičiūtės work presents not only relations between various bodies on canvas, but explores experiences and memories shaped by current realities, which with care transform into a new visual world. This speculative world negotiates both closeness and empathy, as well as isolation and stiffness.
