More about this artwork

The painting is based on a public transport map of Vilnius, featuring distinct areas filled in with bright colors like yellow, blue, and red, and others in white, creating a stylized, abstract geographical layout. Superimposed on this map are large, playful, graphic shapes: a yellow puzzle piece, a large red splash that resembles a fabric or flag, and a bold blue circle. These elements add a layer of visual interest and perhaps symbolic meaning, overlaying the structured lines of the map. The overall composition merges the functional depiction of the city's public transport routes with these artistic interventions, suggesting both a literal and a more subjective, interpretative view of the cityscape. Handwritten text towards the bottom offers an intriguing personal or narrative element, inviting the viewer to ponder a story possibly related to a character named Petras.

Artist

Martynas Ivinskas

Born Kaunas, Lithuania

Lives & works in Los Angeles, USA and Vilnius, Lithuania

“Martynas Ivinskas is not very concerned about form or the tools. This artist – which we can call a true libertarian of the art world – uses any means available at the given moment to create his art. This way the art was born on the jute coffee bags, on city maps – musicians and musical instruments who repeat, articulate and highlight the lines only seen by the artist, the streets of the cities we can one can lose himself. In addition to that he creates objects which are something between a sculpture, collage, a painting or a household item. To the beholder he offers an array of randomly scattered items, the fragmented reality. It is an organized chaos, objectified in his own, unique way. A sort of ‘whatever’ ” . Paulius Garbačiauskas
