Linas Leonas Katinas (1941–2020) was one of the most distinctive modernist artists born and working in Lithuania. His creative biography, spanning six decades, captivates with its unique playfulness, vibrant energy, and a mysticism of his own.
The artist was deeply fascinated by existence itself, or transcendence, understood as a spiritual experience beyond ordinary sensory perception and the limits of earthly matter. The exhibition invites visitors to explore this intriguing dimension of Katinas’s work. His individual worldview intertwines with fragments of myths and archetypes from ancient civilisations, while transcultural, timeless references and symbols speak of transience, a longing for eternity, and human, almost naive attempts to grasp the unfathomable mysteries of the universe.
The exhibition’s advertising campaign features the work Crooked Cloud (1970) by Linas Leonas Katinas.
The works by Linas Katinas presented in the exhibition are from the collection of Virgilijus Norvaiša.
