Vytautas Jūrevičius, a Lithuanian artist, completed his studies at the Lithuanian State Art Institute (today known as the Vilnius Academy of Arts) in 1977. Not long after graduating, he began his artistic career, and by 1981, he devoted himself fully to creative work. Throughout his career, Jūrevičius has participated in numerous exhibitions in Lithuania and abroad, with his art being presented in countries including Finland, the United Arab Emirates, France, and the United States.
One of his significant pieces is the tapestry "For mother of a perished soldier," which is held in the Museum of Applied Arts and Design. This work in particular highlights both his technical skill and emotional depth as an artist. Besides his tapestry work, Vytautas Jūrevičius also accepts commissions, producing art tailored to clients’ requests. His works are found in private collections within Lithuania and internationally, indicating the broad recognition of his artistic abilities.
At present, Vytautas Jūrevičius is dedicated to painting, with a strong focus on oil techniques. This shift illustrates both his versatility and ongoing growth as an artist. Whether working in tapestry or oil, his pieces are marked by meticulous craftsmanship and thoughtful artistic expression.
Jūrevičius is an active participant in the Lithuanian Artists’ Association and has been officially recognized as an artist by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Lithuania. These affiliations emphasize his important role in the Lithuanian art scene and his dedication to advancing contemporary art in his homeland.
About this artwork+
In the vibrant painting, a table holds an array of objects depicted in a somewhat abstract style. A large, bright yellow flower with sprawling petals draws the eye immediately. Beside it, there’s a dark blue teapot with an interesting, slightly distorted shape, and a green vase that appears to contain the yellow flower. On and around the table various patterns and shapes are painted, including checkerboard and zigzag designs in a range of colors. The background is divided into different segments filled with varied patterns and textures, suggesting foliage and a fence or trellis, all under a bold use of color throughout the composition. The whole scene is encapsulated in a playful and expressive style, emphasizing form over detail.
