„Švytėjimas / Shining“. Retrospektyvinė Dano Andriulionio paroda

Danas Andriulionis ryškiai išsiskyręs savo autentišku, su niekuo nesumaišomu kūrybos stiliumi. Atradęs savo autorinę tapybos techniką, kasdien, darbščiai visas savo kūrybines idėjas įgyvendindavo namuose ir dirbtuvėse, o patirtį perduodavo studentams.

,,Dano kūryba visuomet kalbėjo apie žmogaus prigimtinį troškimą suprasti ir keisti pasaulį per meną. Kiekvienas apsilankęs jo dirbtuvėse galėjo pajusti galingą emocinį užtaisą, sklindantį iš drobių” – teigia jo žmona Dovilė Andriulionienė, kuruojanti šią parodą.

Paroda – tai kvietimas žiūrovams tapti šios vidinės kelionės dalimi, atrasti savyje naują kūrybinį įkvėpimą ir, svarbiausia, patirti tikrąją meno transformuojančią galią.

Parodoje „Švytėjimas / Shining“ pristatomi įvairūs D. Andriulionio kūriniai, tarp jų – ir paveikslai, kurie įprasmina svarbiausius Lietuvos istorijos momentus. Vienas tokių – drobė „ES darželis MMIV-VIII“, kurioje menininkas simboliškai perteikė Lietuvos įstojimą į Europos Sąjungą ir NATO. Kiekviena ištapyta gėlytė – tai ES valstybė narė. Netikėta ir graži menininko interpretacija, atskleidžianti jo jautrumą Europos ir saugumo klausimams.

Danas Andriulionis was a painter, teacher, and one of the most interesting Lithuanian art-ists, distinguished by his authentic and unmistakable style. The aspect of recognizability played a pivotal role in his artistic journey. After developing his unique painting technique, he implemented his creative ideas daily, both at home and in his workshop, while also sharing his knowledge and experience with his students.

The work of Danas Andriulionis is an emotional and spiritual journey, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a rich world of colors, symbols, and philosophy. His paintings fea-ture symbols rooted in ancient Lithuanian beliefs, alongside the outlines of runes, manda-las, and cosmic bodies. They reflect a profound perspective on the universe and life—an inner transformation shaped by political and social events in Lithuania and the world, which deeply touched the artist’s consciousness and emotions, resulting in evocative canvases.

Each painting tells a story. For example, ES darželis MMIV-VIII (EU Kindergarten MMIV–VIII) symbolizes Lithuania’s accession to the European Union and its membership in NATO. Each painted flower represents an EU member state, offering an unexpected and beautiful interpretation of Europe and security, themes deeply significant to the artist. An-other example is a series of paintings inspired by his journey to Israel, the country of three religions—a trip miraculously gifted to the artist by some Jewish art collectors. These works capture the unforgettable impressions, imagery, and cultural elements of that land.

The fachwerk hall was chosen for the exhibition intentionally—it reflects an old architectur-al style characteristic of the Klaipėda region, which is echoed in the works of Danas Andri-ulionis.

The artist’s personal development is revealed through very strong, deep, structured, me-ticulously composed paintings, while others, on the contrary, are impulsive, featuring thick, textured layers of paint on a white canvas—which, as the painter used to say, was the most beautiful for him.

The exhibition welcomes all who seek beauty, creativity, and a deeper connection with themselves. It offers an opportunity to nourish your inner hunger with genuine energy. We all crave certainty, strength, security, and sexual energy that inspires, expands, transforms, and opens. We invite you to embark on a painting journey with shinING—filling your inner depths with true artistic energy, a kind of approachING and lovING action that creates spectacular results.
