The artistic practice of Žilvinas Baranauskas has been
marked by a junction of media such as animation, CGI, performance, video art,
and mixed-media drawing. The amalgamation of digital and analogue media often
coalesces within the framework of spatial installation, allowing the artist to
reexamine, observe, and juxtapose various human conditions and their evolving
modes of expression through the lens of Western cultural history. Notions such
as yearning, nostalgia, memory, and melancholia resurface from the artist’s
personal experiences, while maintaining a dialogue with ideas and ideals from
the cultural past. Žilvinas Baranauskas is a graduate of The Royal Academy of
Art, The Hague (KABK), The Netherlands, and is currently residing and creating
in Vilnius, Lithuania.
