Gytis Arošius (b. 1996, Lithuania) is a contemporary painter whose work is characterized by a monochromatic palette, with a focus on dark blue tones. Arošius, who holds a Master’s degree in Painting Studies from the Vilnius Academy of Art (2021), delves into a retro-futuristic aesthetic, exploring themes of looming catastrophes and their aftermath. His art, heavily influenced by elements of brutalist architecture, metallic structures, and machinery, constructs an atmosphere of paranoia and alienation.
Arošius often incorporates obscured human figures into his works, blending them with imagined objects and Cold War-era military transport, inspired by his self-taken photographs. Through this, he creates a haunting visual narrative that prompts viewers to reflect on their own anxieties about the future, exploring the complex relationship between time, emotion, and the human condition.
His intricate compositions challenge viewers to confront the unknown, drawing attention to the subtle yet powerful interplay between reality and imagination in a dystopian context.
