Dominykas Sidorovas’s creative method balances between reality and fiction, as the artist tries to place casual or even boring objects in the field of fiction, thus enabling them to gain additional contexts and meanings. After a process of drawing and redrawing, the artist starts to investigate the effects of defamiliarization. He observes visual shifts from representation to abstraction and from one particular object to another. Sidorovas deconstructs, deforms and visually cleanses the images of the objects while exploring their essence, which allows them to function not as products of mimicry, but rather as visual symbols. His reductionist approach which includes references to social and cultural contexts is complemented by an artistic research based on contemporary philosophy and the study of the field of art, providing a theoretical context for the painter’s work.
