Vilmantas – Identity
Vilmantas Marcinkevicius is born in 1969 in Kaunas in Lithuania and is educated at the Vilnius Art Academy. His exhibitions have been traveling all around Europe and in Japan and USA. In 1997 he also had an exhibition in the Nordic House in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands. In this year’s international art contest arranged by Saatchi Gallery in London, the world’s biggest art web portal, Vilmantas became the winner ahead of 3500 other artists with the art work Madonna of the 21st century. He also has had the honour of doing portraits of members of the Danish royal family and other well known people. His painting Tired Man is located in the European Parliament. Vilmantas has received many awards in his home country and in Denmark for his artistic performances. He is a permanent guest of the Galleri NB in Viborg and Roskilde in Denmark.
In the gallery in Roskilde, Vilmantas had the exhibition “Identity”. This exhibition which includes paintings and aquatints can be seen in the Faroe Islands Art Museum from the 8th May to the 19th July 2009. It is a continuation of this years Spring Exhibition which shares the same theme. The viewer will in this exhibition be able to see how the artist analyzes identity, a theme he has for several years been studying and researching. Vilmantas shows his insightfulness and understanding of the innermost thoughts, dreams, joy and anxiety of people. He is dealing with life’s many points and carefully and artistically paints them in a direct way, captivating the viewer and making him reflect on his own excistence and self-image. And one’s self-image is essential in order to create one’s identity. Ingeborg Bugge, the Faroe Islands Art Museum’s art historian, has written a catalogue, published by Galleri NB, for the exhibition when it was held in Roskilde a couple of months ago. The art historian writes retrospectively in the catalogue about love and identity in Vilmantas’ art under the title AMO, ERGO SUM – “I love, therefore I live”. .
