Kamilė Česnavičiūtė
I look at themes on people, relations, identity, belonging, and I invite magic of the unknown, the natural world, objects and confrontation. Through a posthumanist lens I search for a more horizontal way of presenting earth and its inhabitants. The connections between us and other are not always visible or known. What do we recognize as us, do we extend far enough?
With magic that happens in between memories and the real world I world-build: human-like bodies, non-human bodies, unknown yet familiar parts and strange environments creating a collective, often presenting unaccustomed scenes. In painting, I show relations between various bodies on canvas, and navigate experiences, feelings and memories shaped by current realities, which transform into a new visual world. As an artist, I not only paint, but I also create site specific work using different materials or even performance. I dive into subjects and build both pictorially and spatially.
