Abstract:
The Aim of the research is to define and analyse works of Lithuanian abstract painting during the Soviet period by establishing and comparing the diversity of criticism and practices of abstract art in Lithuania over several decades (from the end of the 1950s to the 1980s). In this thesis abstract paining is treated as a radical artistic reaction in Lithuania in terms of its theoretical and historical characteristics, and the general artistic context during the Soviet period is analysed in terms of socio-political issues. This is a study of the most celebrated examples of Western European art

Abstract:
This thesis re-investigates Clement Greenberg’s discredited abstract expressionist claim that painting should seek its own purity through the acknowledgment of its material. I argue that Greenberg’s physical, bodily determination of painting (but not its purity) is re-located as a criticality in contemporary practice because of the changes brought about by the simulacrum and the digital. By utilizing the particularities of ‘painterly’ issues such as materiality, depth and opticality into the virtual, this claim responds to Arthur C. Danto’s ‘end of history’ theories where he argues that artist

Abstract:
The thesis analyses the construction of surface in contemporary abstract painting and its broader implications, mainly in regard to Clement Greenberg's understanding of modernist painting. It considers how this issue was contended between art critics such as Greenberg and Michael Fried and artists that challenged the formalist account of painting's medium specificity through a wide range of procedures and techniques. I review Thierry de Duve's analysis of Robert Ryman's work in regard to Greenberg's understanding of modernist painting and discuss the ways in which the contest between painting

Abstract:
The journey of this research began with exploring the notion of invisible space which cannot be perceived by the human eye, and the process of image visualisation expressed through my abstract paintings, which is supported by my theoretical research. ‘Invisible Space’, the title of one of my recent paintings, evokes the notion of a very small space such as a cell or nerve tissues which form part of the human body and have the potential to simultaneously symbolise a cosmological space. In my practice, I adopt painting as a pertinent method to realise my subjects and motifs. I consider how my pa

Abstract:
My thesis is that geometry is an abstract and universal language that can reflect the inner being of the world in concrete form. I propose that the ideal forms of geometry, like those of harmony in music, have an aesthetic and metaphysical dimension that is capable of touching the most essential part of our being in the world. In this context, I suggest that painting geometry may be understood as an art practice that is closely aligned with the ideals of philosophical reflection, and how, as a consequence of this understanding, my approach to painting geometry is directed towards the realisati

Abstract:
This paper examines my paintings in conjunction with three painters; Albert Oehlan, Charline von Heyl and Christopher Wool. These painters utilise a combination of visual languages and adopt an antagonistic or contradictory painting strategy indebted to Willem de Kooning, the Dutch American Abstract Expressionist. The discussion involves how these artists have manoeuvred their own positions in painting and how they have created their own painting lexicon against the paradigm of the cyclical viability of Contemporary painting. The emphasis is on each artist’s avoidance of binary opposites; whet

I use this system as a way of echoing natural structures, as well as a way of focusing my attention. I create multiple small pieces and present them in large, gridded formats.

My investigation of painting has led to creating abstractions that refer to internal and external anatomical forms. Microscopic images initiated a dialogue that guided each paintings reference to the body.

This progression allowed a thorough study of abstract elements and their formal potential.

To remain in the moment and focused on what I am doing at that moment is a fundamental base of both my process and, interestingly what the resulting image translates to the viewer.
