Modern paintings
This object interprets the plot of the oriental fairy tale One Thousand and One Nights as a tense story about survival, power and imagination. Scheherazade here becomes the creator's archetype and the stories she follows are not just entertainment. Each unfinished fairy tale becomes another night experienced, a death postponed, another opportunity to speak.
The space of the object resembles a stage or a closed memory box. The fairy tale titles written on improvised pillows act as a fragmentary archive of stories. As signs of cultural memory preserving life through words. And the heads of previous concubines laid out in the bottom drawer introduce a creepy, grotesque subtext. The decorative, almost toy-like aesthetic contrasts with hidden violence and existential tension.
M. Jonutis subtly combines the stylistics of the folk primitive, irony and surrealist narrative. The work speaks of the fragility of women in a patriarchal system of power, but also of the ability of creativity, language, and imagination to resist destruction.
The fairy tale here becomes not a fantasy, but a form of survival.
Colors speak louder than words.
When you allow yourself to create without fear, worlds are born that no one has ever seen before.
Let each day be your canvas, and courage be the brightest color in it.
Modern art - what is it?
Fatigue, a kind of frustration with realism, began to be felt in the middle of the 19th century. Academic teaching and style no longer matched the progress dictated by the Industrial Revolution. Already in their works, the Impressionists began to create artistic, intertwined motifs, to depict certain feelings and emotions by means other than the usual means of expression. In addition, until the 19th century, the most frequent clients were aristocrats who wanted to be immortalized, and with the Industrial Revolution, the rise of income, and Zigmund Freud's book The Interpretation of Dreams, artists were able to rely on dreams as a source of ideas and make a living from other orders. In this way, modern art began to take shape, which was not subject to the forms, techniques and means of expression used until then.
Modern art is made up of different currents. Their most famous are Expressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Abstractionism, Dadaism, Art Deco, Pop Art, Fauvism, Surrealism and others.
