Vine of Hearts. The installation joins together fragments from different stories previously created by artist - 60 W Magic, Mortgaged Time, Night Shift and Fir Line. He adds a parralel logic of a fairy-tale and symbolic language to his observations of everyday environment and thus re-writes contemporary folklore.
The installation Vine of Hearts joins together fragments from different stories
previously created by Zilvinas Landzbergas – 60 W Magic, Mortgaged Time, Night Shift
and Fir Line. The artist adds a parralel logic of a fairy-tale and symbolic language
to his observations of everyday environment and thus re-writes contemporary
folklore.
Tales about contemporary popular characters, the effects of advertising
strategies and rapidly formed consumer habits are transformed into visual language
through the remaking of classical genres of landscape, portrait and still-life.
Zilvinas Landzbergas forms these spatial narratives using illusionary techniques: he
combines details in a strange, untypical ways, models different sources of light,
plays with 2-D and 3-D images and „immaterializes“ materials. The suggestive
atmosphere of his installations inspire the audience‘s involvement and invites them
to construct their own meanings from the variety of fragments on display.
Zilvinas Landzbergas graduated from the Sculpture Department at Vilnius Academy of
Arts, studied at Plymouth University and spent two years in the post-graduate
artists‘ residency De Ateliers in Amsterdam. Since 1998 he has actively participated
in international exhibitions, symposiums and projects. He has had solo exhibitions
at Modern Art Oxford and Fons Welters gallery in Amsterdam.
The young artists‘ exhibition series Yellow Line is supported by the Lithuanian
Ministry of Culture
Zilvinas Landzbergas‘ exhibition is supported by StoraEnso and Polichroma
