More about this artwork

Arūnas Rutkus's "Auksiniai sapnai III," painted in 2017, beckons viewers into a mystical realm where texture and symbolism intertwine to evoke a dream-like state. This enthralling piece features an abstract composition dominated by gold tones, suggesting both opulence and the allure of the unattainable.The painting is divided into sections, with each segment offering a different texture and pattern. To the left, a slender, vertical panel with intricate, embossed motifs, perhaps reminiscent of a gothic window, contrasts starkly with the broader central panel that showcases a captivating arrangement of textured gold. This central space is further adorned with organic forms that resemble floral or arboreal motifs, set in a dynamic, spiraling gesture that adds movement to the otherwise structured composition.Rutkus masterfully uses a palette of earth tones, from deep maroons to subtle beiges, and layers of textural effects to create an appearance of aged or weathered surfaces. These elements suggest a narrative of time, memory, and perhaps a reflection on the fleeting nature of dreams.The textured surface of "Auksiniai sapnai III" invites viewers to contemplate the tactile qualities of the materials, while the use of gold leaf and varied texturing techniques elevate the piece beyond a mere visual spectacle to a sensory experience.This artwork is a profound exploration of the subconscious, rendered in a style that bridges the historical with the contemporary.
