On July 24 at 6 p.m., the \u201cEnergija\u201d Gallery (8A Dan\u0117s St.) will host the opening of \u201c\u017diotys,\u201d a solo painting exhibition by Vilt\u0117 Fuller, an artist originally from Klaip\u0117da who is now based in the United Kingdom. This is the first presentation of her work in Lithuania. The exhibition will run through August 22. The project is curated by art curator Just\u0117 Kostikovait\u0117. <\/p>\n
Vilt\u0117 Fuller\u2019s paintings explore the relationship between attraction and repulsion, closeness and discomfort. The artist, who studied at the prestigious Glasgow School of Art, has been using a technique combining oil paint and wax for more than a decade, which lends the surface a sense of layering, tactile memory, and visual instability. <\/p>\n
In the exhibition \u201c\u017diotys,\u201d Vilt\u0117 Fuller explores the theme of food as memory and identity. Born in Klaip\u0117da and raised in the United Kingdom, Fuller returns to the experience of migration in her latest series\u2014not as an autobiographical narrative, but as a psychological state. Her travels in Lithuania and the Baltic region this year are not a form of documentation, but rather part of an artistic inquiry\u2014a kind of game with references. The distance from her roots and the \u201cexoticization\u201d of her own origins become the driving force behind her exploration here, as if she were striving to move from a critical perspective to an experimental \u201cwhat if\u201d dimension, where the artist herself embodies both the role of the \u201clocal\u201d Vilt\u0117 Fuller and that of a tourist trying to taste and experience \u201cstrange local food.\u201d<\/p>\n
The \u201cEnergija\u201d Gallery is an independent art and education platform founded in Klaip\u0117da in 2025, operating within the \u201cKlaip\u0117dos Energija\u201d industrial complex.
