Artwork in the room
Andrius Makarevičius, born on October 13, 1982, in Pabrade, is a Lithuanian artist acclaimed for his dynamic and intellectually engaging creations. In 2005, he graduated from Vilnius Pedagogical University with a Bachelor of Arts, providing him with a strong academic basis for his artistic pursuit.
Since 2003, Makarevičius has presented his art in personal exhibitions and has remained an active participant in numerous group shows and collaborative endeavors. His involvement in Lithuania's art community was further affirmed in 2017, when he joined the Lithuanian Artists' Union.
Makarevičius’ work is distinguished by its direct engagement with difficult and sometimes uncomfortable issues. His paintings are characterized by bold, textured brushwork, altered proportions, and an intricate play of unconventional colors. The human figures he portrays frequently merge with animalistic traits, evoking a surreal interpretation of everyday existence. Despite the often serious subject matter, Makarevičius incorporates humor and irony, preserving a lively and broad-minded perspective. Central to his artistic vision is an exploration of human nature, delving into the tensions between internal and external realities, and examining humanity’s interactions with itself and its surroundings.
Makarevičius’ artworks have gained admiration from collectors and art lovers both within Lithuania and abroad, and are represented in private collections in countries such as America, Switzerland, England, Ireland, Denmark, and Germany. Of particular note, one private collector with a keen interest in nudes has acquired ten of his paintings, further reflecting the artist's wide-ranging appeal.
About this artwork+
In the painting, multiple figures are depicted around and on a dining table set against a blue sky and a brick wall partly obscured by a green leafy plant. On the left, a naked man crouches on the table, intently observing a scene not visible to the viewer. At the center, another man in a dark jacket with a purple face and a visible chain lies stretched across the table, his head supported by his hand, looking solemnly outward. His other hand is on the table near a glass and some unclear dark objects. Nearby, a dog with its front paws up on the table nudges towards a whole fish, its gaze directed towards the viewer. On the right, a figure with a deformed, downcast head resting on the table seems gripped by despair, a hand gently resting on his back. Another man, partly obscured standing behind the table, wearing a red hoodie, appears as if comforting the despondent figure. The overall mood is heavy, conveyed by the somber expressions and muted interaction among the figures.
