Rūta Jusionytė's exhibition "The Princess and the Dragon"

The work of the artist, who has been featured on the Paris art scene for fifteen years, has arrived in Lithuania from the prestigious Galerie Claudine Legrand in Paris. Exhibited in the unique setting of the Zoological Museum, the works invite you to take a look at the archaic, mythological, and at the same time very contemporary world of Rūta Jusionytė. The artist's sculptures, drawings, and paintings intertwine themes of fairy tales, myths, archetypes, and contemporary human psychology. In her hands, fireclay turns into mythological creatures, chimeras, goddesses, and fairies. Unpolished surfaces, remaining fingerprints, and expressive forms give the works a special vitality and liveliness. R. Jusionytė's work brings together Baltic mythology and universal human imagery – themes of nature, animal, femininity, care, intimacy, and mystery. This is art where the archaic spirit speaks to the contemporary viewer. The exhibition will be open until November 29.
