Until 10 April, the personal watercolour exhibition “Plenary Moods” by Sigita Grabliauskaitė, coordinator of the Object Art study programme of the Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution (HEI) of Arts and Education, Faculty of Arts and Education, is on display at the Kauno kolegija HEI Library and Scientific Communication Centre (Pramonės Av. 22A).
According to Prof. Dr Raimonda Simanaitienė, the artist reveals the secrets of the watercolour technique by painting natural motifs and landscapes. The works exhibited at the exhibition demonstrate freedom of stroke, expression, and a tendency to generalise the motif and improvise. In the various plein-airs, in which S. Grabliauskaitė participates with pleasure, the prevailing mood is reflected in the background of the author’s works: in some places it is bright, in others it is dark.
S. Grabliauskaitė not only actively organises personal exhibitions throughout Lithuania, and participates in group exhibitions in foreign countries, but also encourages students and graduates to present their work to viewers interested in art.
Until 11 April, the exhibition spaces of the glass corridor connecting the buildings of Kauno kolegija HEI (Pramonės Av. 22A and Pramonės Av. 20) will exhibit the exhibition of stained glass by Guoda Kvietinskaitė, a graduate of the Object Art study programme who lives and creates in London, “Kaunas in London”.
Since childhood, G. Kvietinskaitė has been fascinated by glass art and techniques that help control this fragile, yet easily amenable material to the realisation of creative ideas. Therefore, the choice to study the Object Art study programme was a natural one for the creators. After graduating, she deepened her knowledge in London, at the Piotr Frac stained glass studio.
The exhibition, which is being exhibited at Kauno kolegija HEI, features the artist, whose stained glass windows are appreciated not only by viewers but also by professionals in the international art field, encouraging people to discover stained glass through the prism of contemporary art, creating conceptual portraits of personalities in which light, wounded with plastic lines, gives each portrait playfulness and highlights its unique character.
