Event: (Not) to see the Landscape
Dates: 24 Jul 2025 - 24 Aug 2025
In this exhibition Tomas Stanaitis presents his very new paintings of landscapes and his fresh look to the oil painting.
In the exhibition (Not) to see the Landscape, the author emphasizes the color significance of painting, the importance of drawing, and the creative process from nature, which is revealed in the works by depicting the environment close to the painter - the beauty of nature, gardens, and their importance in this increasingly digital age. It is an invitation to feel the clear air, see the colors splashed by the sun with expressive contrasts, and recognize the rich variegation of the gardens surrounding us with your own eyes.

Biography
"Hello,
I am Tomas, a person who loves to observe the world around me. I am a total fan of nature, in which I see an endless process of change.
My work is not about abstraction or copying nature point-by-point—it is about space and time, place, and the shifting gaze. It is about the human gaze, rather than a machine-generated image (simulation) that lacks place, time, space, or a point of view.
I mostly capture the nature of Lithuania, where humans are absent, yet their presence is visible. I do not use a camera in my work because it is not my vision. Instead, I use my eyes and hand to capture sketches of nature on an iPad, which I later use in the studio to paint larger works.
I graduated from the Vilnius Academy of Arts and am a member of the Lithuanian Artists' Association, but nature remains my greatest teacher. I believe all the answers I seek are found there, rather than within the studio walls."
