BEING IN SILENCE and BLUE MELANCHOLY BY BIRUTE NOMEDA STANKUNIENE

Seems that these days London boasts of miserable weather and Christmas rush. A coffee in your hands and looking at winter inspired abstract art, might just be the perfect break.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITIONS

Lithuanian artist Birute Nomeda Stankuniene is thrilled to bring her abstract painting collections to Vagabond. The artist is an advocate of exposing art to the general public, and often favours non-traditional exhibition spaces. Having previously exhibited in NHS facilities, Sherborne Abbey and currently having an exhibition in Westminster Reference Library, she is extremely excited to display her works in Vagabond N7 and Vagabond N4 coffee shops.

The artist’s paintings focus on expressing and communicating psychological states, while the abstract form frees the viewers to enter a state of contemplation and to encounter the work as a direct experience. Ultimately, finding their own unique instinctual reactions and emotions to the artworks. The painting groups ‘Being in Silence’ and ‘Blue Melancholy’ explore the themes of tension, silence, solitude and search for inner peace.

Birute tells us about the two collections:

“I created the Being in Silence painting group after wandering in the wintery outdoors of two minimal colours and shades. The crunch of snow, the stillness of nature and the deafening silence makes you embrace the free float of thoughts. Those silent moments tell a larger story. Thoughts, reminiscences, plans, expectations settle and find their place.”

‘Blue Melancholy’ was created in 2016, during the coldest period of a Lithuanian winter – January-February, when the temperatures drop below -25C. The technique was extremely minimal – light ultramarine blue pigment only. These works are about sadness and painful longing unavoidably accompanying me during the recent years”

The artist is lifelong coffee lover, and believes that looking at art helps to rest one’s mind from everyday tension (especially with a cup of quality coffee, she adds).

Two different painting collections, two different locations – visit Vagabond N7 or Vagabond N4 to see the abstract paintings by Birute Nomeda Stankuniene.
