Patricija Jurkšaitytė Lithuanian, b. 1968

Overview
Patricija Jurkšaitytė
Patricija Jurkšaitytė (b. 1968, Lithuania) is a painter known for having repainted interiors from late-Renaissance and 17th-century masters’ paintings with removed human figures. She obtained a BA in Painting from Vilnius Academy of Arts in 1993 and was one of the students at the renowed course taught by artist Kęstutis Zapkus. Since 1992, Jurkšaitytė has been participating in group exhibitions at the Vilnius Contemporary Art Centre and Vartai Gallery (Lithuania), and in 1996 started holding personal shows both in Lithuania and abroad.
In her paintings, Patricija Jurkšaitytė employs appropriation strategies, principles of deconstruction and quotations as tools for making a visual commentary on contemporary culture and its relation to the past. The artist seeks to reveal the language of painting, its technique as a practice of memory, its limits, meaning and meaninglessness. She seems to be reconstructing historical paintings, but at the same time eliminates certain elements from them, thus creating a conceptual interpretation of art history. Another part of Jurkšaitytė’s works consists of portraits of different women in which the artist seeks to highlight not their gaze an the viewer, but rather to reveal how they perceive themselves.
Patricija Jurkšaitytė’s works have been presented in various galleries and art institutions in Lithuania, Denmark, Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Turkey. The artist holds frequent solo exhibitions in the Netherlands, Denmark and Finland. Her works have been included in the collections of the Lewben Art Foundation (Lithuania) and MO Museum (Lithuania) as well as many private collections both in Lithuania and abroad.
