Vaiva Katinaitytė presents her first solo exhibition in London
On Thursday 3 July 2014 at 7pm Lithuanian artist Vaiva Katinaitytė presents her works at The Things We Love 245 Hoxton Street, N1 5LG London, United Kingdom. Everyone is welcome to come and have a look at Vaiva's works and to have a chat with young artist. Exhibition will last for 2weeks.
Vaiva Katinaityte is a young Lithuanian artist who travelled across Europe and recently settled in a small corner of the big city. Vaiva has gained a bachelor's degree in graphic design and a master's degree in artistic photography. For the past four years she has lived and studied in Prague where she has found her particular interest in domestic/intimate photography.
Vaiva's work has been exhibited around Lithuania and the Czech Republic. In 2012, her work was exhibited in the largest and most important art institution in the Czech Republic, the National Gallery in Prague. In 2013 the artist became the finalist of the Prague Fashion Weekend, the Elle competition of fashion photo award and exhibited as a foreign guest at the Czech Photo Festival. It was also the year in which Vaiva published her first personal photo book "I-N-T-I-M-A-C-Y".
Vaiva has an organic and coherent entity, a clear and highly personal expression of what is important to her and how she reflects her personal intimate universe in photography.
Objects in her pictures focus on her closest environment and have a definite meaning, each one different. These photographs present very close views of familiar subjects. Vaiva's work might fall under the genres of landscape, still life and portraits. The most important questions are the currents of time, the color of light and a person’s figure in relation to nature. She is hunting for what we usually lack in our daily routine: calmness, aesthetics, surprises and shared experiences.
Each of Vaiva's individual photographs are connected to each other and at the same time they can overlap, shade one other and stack both physically and metaphorically.
Vaiva says - its easier to say what is not what you think that to say what is what. And thus, with caution and vigor typical for her, she safely settles in the corner of what we can generally summarize under the concept of intimate photography.
