Different stories of the most famous paintings

What if the heroes of old paintings lived today? Algis Kriščiūnas presents another creative project – an exhibition of miniature photo collages in which the most famous masterpieces of painting are transported into our times. Did those who lived hundreds of years ago love differently than we do? Did they feel loneliness, jealousy, longing, anxiety, guilt and joy? Did the mother cradling her child in a Renaissance painting experience the same feelings as a mother today? Do lovers’ glances, the sorrow after loss, the waiting, the fear and the dreams really belong to an era, or are they an eternal part of human nature? By moving the heroes of classical works into the present, Algis Kriščiūnas offers a thought experiment – perhaps only clothing and scenery separate us from them, while the inner world of the human being has not changed over the centuries. On July 9 at 7:00 PM, an exhibition of miniature photo collages is presented at the Algis Kriščiūnas Art Gallery. During the evening, the artist will tell the stories hidden in the famous paintings of the old masters and, together with the audience, will try to imagine how these works would look if they were created today. This is not only a story about art, but also a conversation about us – about what changes in a person, and about what remains forever.
