More about this artwork

"Sėdinti" (2018) by Arūnas Rutkus is a captivating piece that invites viewers into a realm of thoughtful contemplation. This painting depicts a solitary, seated figure, enveloped in a deep blue background that calms and isolates, emphasizing the subject's introspective posture. The figure itself is richly textured and adorned with intricate patterns that hint at a cultural or personal significance, which might suggest layers of identity or heritage.The tone of this piece is both somber and serene, evoking a sense of meditative solitude. The use of gold and warmer hues contrasted against the striking blue creates a visual dichotomy that is both striking and harmonious. Rutkus's technique in blending these colors and textures brings a mystical quality to the figure, which seems almost statue-like, frozen in time and thought.In "Sėdinti," Rutkus masterfully plays with light and shadow, pattern and plainness, to draw the viewer's eye across the form of the figure, exploring the depth of its human condition.
