Exhibition of Jūratė Rekevičiūtė Opened in the Standing Agency of Lithuania EU

On June 9th, the graphics exhibition of Jūratė Rekevičiūtė , called “ Doll is alone at home” was opened by the Standing representative of Lithuania in EU ambassador Rytis Martikonis . “Doll is alone at home” is the latest exhibition of the artist. It has been created this year and already shown in Vilnius and Kaunas.
The backgrounds for the dolls’ life were created by a seven year old girl Suoma Pilinkutė, and J.Rekevičiūtė engraved them and printed. For the exhibition in Brussels the collection is supplemented with new exhibits that have not been shown before. Though the exhibition is very personal, it speaks to the visitors via a well known symbol – a doll.

„This exhibition is about life, it is like evidence that miracles exist and they are so close to us, that dolls live their own independent life. Everything is just as you believe,- said the Lithuanian artist.

Works of art of J. Rekevičiūtė are bright, lively and full of artistic courage.” One doll, one mask, one me. And never the same. The doll skylarks, it hides in the darkest corners, takes part in a carnival, appears on the pictures of other artists, acts a part in a play, catches angry thought crocodiles”- writes an art critic Ignas Kazakevičius.

The artist has arranged about ten personal and forty sectional exhibitions in Lithuania and abroad. She creates graphics, installations, TV scenography, accessory and decorates porcelain. Her works of art have been exhibited in Austria, the USA, Russia, Sweden, Latvia, Estonia and Poland. In 2006 J. Rekevičiūtė was awarded at Lithuanian Graphics Biennial „Now Art Now Future.Freedom/Rytoj Yra Dabar. Laisvė“, and won “Master” award at XIV International Art Festival in St.Petersburg.

The exhibition in Brussels was supported by Lithuanian Ministry of Culture.

The exhibition of J. Rekevičiūtė in the Standing Agency of Lithuania is open till the end of June.
