Raimondas Daukša (b. 1962) is a mid-generation artist who surprises viewers with his sophistication, originality, aesthetic sense, and close connection with his environment. His ouevre (paintings, installations, objects) is dominated by a critique of social life, the backstage of life in a resort, consumerism, collective memory, humor, and the hybrid relationship between nature and man.

He was a member of the Lithuanian Artists’ Union from 1997 to 2002 and then became one again in 2020.

Rolandas Marčius was born in 1974. Rolandas’ oeuvre reflects a surgically revealing X-ray aesthetic. His works reflect local situations and rethink global structures.
