In Viltė Čepulytė’s art, the divine beings of Antiquity come alive. Her medium is painting, but what does it convey? Here, the referent is not the god himself, nor even his sculpture in a museum. Instead, it is a photograph of the sculpture that is painted – a photographic image mediated by technology. The artist did not sit armed with a palette, brushes, or pencils in the “model room.” The two-dimensional photograph serves as a medium between the three-dimensional sculpture and the two-dimensional painting. In this process, with the change of the medium, the original object – the sculpture – undergoes a double transformation, or transfiguration, as the artist describes it (Vytautas Ališauskas).

The artwork is on view at Viltė Čepulytė's debut exhibition “Cella” at The Rooster Gallery until August 25!
