Eduardas Mieželaitis, MIŠKO PASAKA, 1981
The main motifs here are loneliness, alienation, sadness, contemplation. The author often delved into metaphysics, paradoxes, and absurdity – the usual traits of surrealist art, even though he noted a few times that he’s definitely not a surrealist. His unique visual language really can’t be mistaken for any other author’s.
Eidrigevičius graduated from the Stepas Žukas Technical School of Applied Arts, and from Lithuanian Art Institute. He has been living in Warsaw since 1980, being praised by art historians not only as a talented modernist but also as a master of rare genres like masks and the Polish smutki. His artworks are kept in museums all over Lithuania and Poland, British Museum in London, MOMA in New York, Washington National Library, Vatican Museum, Creation Gallery in Tokyo, and many private collections in Lithuania and abroad.
