The exhibition displays more than 40 illustrations created in 2020 by the artist Antanas Dubra (aka Stryts). All the illustrations share one common topic, which is built around human psychological states and social relations. The artist explores such concepts as isolation, depression, and anxiety, though not without self-irony. In other words, seriousness is packed with jokes, in hope to replenish one’s stocks of serotonin.
Antanas Dubra works in the field of illustration, painting and object art. He is also a stage designer (of both theatre and film animation). The artist’s visual language is balanced between the high / classical culture and the popular forms of art, marked with a sense of humour, intellectual comments, irony and distinctive poetic naivety.
