More about this artwork

The painting depicts an urban scene, likely a segment of a city's skyline, characterized by an assortment of buildings rendered in watercolor. The color palette is subdued, dominated by shades of gray, blue, and earth tones, with a striking exception of a red building at the left that draws attention due to its vivid hue compared to the surrounding muted colors. This red building features a classical design, possibly suggesting an older, preserved structure amidst more modern architectural forms.To the right, there are taller, more irregularly shaped buildings, one appearing almost skeletal, resembling the exposed framework of an unfinished skyscraper. These structures give a sense of ongoing construction or urban renewal. Various textural details in the watercolor suggest reflections or wet surfaces, possibly implying recent rain or the glossy finish of urban structures.The foreground is defined by a barrier, which could be a bridge or a balcony, separating the viewer from the buildings and adding a layer of depth. Above, the sky is washed out, mostly overcast, contributing to the overall atmosphere of a cloudy, damp day in a bustling city environment, evoking a sense of solitude amidst architectural grandeur.

Artist

"I'll start by saying that I'm a rather superficial person in that sense,

that I don't interfere in the twists and turns of art's past, present directions and visions of the future.

My aim in making art is a simple, uncomplicated aesthetic.

I was born in Kaunas. My childhood was spent in Žaliakalnis. Later studies

Vilnius Art Institute (now Academy) and after graduation

appointment to Klaipėda. A beautiful, painfully pleasant past.

Now it will soon be thirty years that I have been working with furniture in New York. I have a long-standing understanding of the professional routine, the functionality and visual expression of interiors. 

And to go back to the beginning, I want to add that the human living environment

is divided into what is interesting, beautiful and attractive to them, and what is alien (in this case

I am not talking in the social sense). My wish is that a person who hangs a picture should  feel good without noticing it, without drawing attention to it.

That would be the point," the artist introduces himself.

Gediminas Sprindys works in watercolour and makes excellent use of its ability to layer colours, colour transparency, translucency and spills. His work is dominated by urban landscapes, images of Kaunas modernism and New York skyscrapers. The soft watercolour is an unexpected contrast to the depicted glass and concrete, giving lightness and gently reminding us of temporality.
