2020 \/ Saulius Vaitiek\u016bnas<\/p>\n
Corrugated steel pipes, lights<\/p>\n
For almost twenty years the artist has been consistently creating as what can be called \u201cClouds\u201d. From the beginning of this millennium, as if one big series, he created jewelry pieces, objects and installations in various aspects related to the atmospheric phenomenon accumulations of water droplets, ice crystals in the sky. Installation \u201cCarrying the rain\u201d is a continuing part of this creative process.<\/p>\n
Saulius Vaitiek\u016bnas refers to the installation and its \u2018characters\u2019 as drawings. It is as twisting a pencil on paper or a wall. As the artist says: \u201cI used to paint this way myself, later I saw daughters behaving similarly, and later \u2013 grandchildren \u2026. Shapes transform into one another as they move.\u201d<\/p>\n
Clouds can be understood and interpreted in an ambiguous way: from informational \u201cclouds\u201d in which many of us save information that is important, up to the global warming issues that are relat- ed to water scarcity in some regions of the world and surplus in others.<\/p>\n
You can also remember the poetic etymology of the name of Lithuania, the fogs (clouds) as deception metaphor \u2026 There may be many meanings, they all depend on the perceiver and the context \u2026<\/p>\n
An important visual component of the exhibition \u201cCarrying the rain\u201d is light and shadows. They, highlighting drawing line in space peculiarities, dematerializes the gravity of metal. Movement of sculptural form and ephemeral graphic lines, merging silhouettes, like the real clouds, in this installation move, change position, clang and ring like bells \u2026 light, kinetic, creating an unmatched theatre of light and shadow clouds. The theatre that water creates in the sky.<\/p>\n
