Synoptical Painting Exhibition
"The Look at Yourself"
Opening reception: Friday, September 9, 5:00 pm, 2011
At Janina Monkute-Marks Museum & Gallery
The synoptical exhibition of Lithuanian painters provides the opportunity to see new artistic discoveries, and to compare them with the works from the previous years. This exhibition is something like the painters' annual report, a certain test of the creative pulse. Until now, this kind of exhibitions had been organized as "fetched up", and had been attended by the members of the section from the Lithuanian Artists' Association alone. This year, it has been decided to let non-artists to present their paintings as well, also including the artists that are not the members of the Association. In the exhibition "The Look at Yourself", almost eighty different artists of various generations, employing different plastic languages, and largely reflecting the painting face of Vilnius, present their creations.
