More about this artwork

In this monochrome artwork, a solitary figure is depicted in a dynamically leaning posture, standing on a bench. The bench, striped in black and white, is simultaneously simplistic and striking, contrasting sharply with the mostly blank expanse of the paper. This person, dressed in black, appears to be in the act of cautiously balancing or moving, one arm stretched forward as if reaching or maintaining equilibrium. A black crow rests at the edge of the bench, adding an element of interaction or companionship. Positioned near the bench is a lantern, minimalistic yet detailed, placed on the ground beside a small, dark patch that might suggest a shadow or spill. The scene is rendered with a fluidity and simplicity that speaks to a quiet moment paused in time, evocative of introspection or solitude within a sparse, abstract landscape.

Neringa Marcinkevičiūtė-Strazdė's works of spare lines allow the chamber space of the gallery to "breathe", as well as the viewer himself. Looking at the graphic artist's works - as if sentences were started, conversations that turn into silences, pauses - the viewer easily inserts his or her own observations without even noticing or silently continues the conversation with the artist, with himself or herself. "With such a modern rush and overcrowded daily routine, we always have little free time," observes N.Marcinkevičiūtė-Strazdė, "that is why I try to rest in emptiness, in silence, in space. It is very important for me not to pollute a piece of paper with unnecessary things. Less is better than too much - that's my motto, my main idea."

Recently, Neringa's work has been dominated by the human figure, sometimes alone, sometimes as a group.  Her graceful characters are self-absorbed, detached from their surroundings, but when you look at them, you never get the feeling that they are one and the same person, with a multitude of different roles, parts and sides of their personality, through which the true self and the animalistic nature of man inexorably try to break through.
