Retne(Arvydas Gaiciunas) - Spaco N-2

The work is an abstract composition. "Abstract" derives from the Latin term "abstrahere," which means to extract or draw out. The process of abstraction, in fact, consists of eliminating the particular and individual aspects of an object to derive a universal concept. From Kandinsky to Mondrian, from Pollock to Mirò, many painters have pushed the process of abstraction to the limit in their works, paradoxically creating pure forms and colors that do not exist in nature, or translating their emotions and instincts into images.

In this work, the painter Retne employs a pure, uncompromising abstraction rooted in the historical avant-garde movements of the early twentieth century. The aim of Retne's painting is to transform all of reality into a pure perception, uncontaminated by any descriptive frills. This requires a remarkable abstraction of reality and perceived things, which, paradoxically, leads to reducing the perceptible world to the iconic concreteness of pure forms and colors. Thus, Retne's art, like that of historical abstraction, is composed of pictorial vibrations that give rise to small biomorphic elements, and the presence of essential colors, managed according to rational criteria of complementarity. His compositions, moreover, are grounded in a marked minimalism. The purity of the biomorphic organisms and colors is enhanced by a two-dimensional dimension. The space, completely neutral, is rarefied, occupied by the presence of a few elements and sparse graphic signs. Everything, therefore, conveys a sense of ethereal lightness. Another fundamental element is dynamism, as Retne always tries to highlight the movement of objects that seem to float in space.

Retne is the artistic name of Arvydas Gaiciunas, born in Lithuania in 1969. His paintings have been exhibited nationally, as well as in Belgium and the Netherlands. With a professional background as an artist, magician, and illusionist, his paintings are distinguished by an exploration of perception that leads him to create an abstract language and minimal biomorphism.
