Agnė Juodvalkytė’s solo exhibition Omen presents the artist’s works of textile and abstract painting.

For a little while, a special timescape created by Agnė Juodvalkytė lends its order to the space of the gallery Drifts. The signs and gestures that appear between doors, thresholds, passages and niches claim ownership of the space, emphasising its multidimensionality.

Juodvalkytė’s atmospheric paintings come from the observation of nature, time and light, the windows of her everyday life and trips around the city. The abstract canvases, created in the artist’s studio in Berlin, depict intuitive, unhasty time.

The title of the exhibition, Omen, is also an artwork by Juodvalkytė, prioritising sound over the meaning of the word. A sign, a prophet, a superstition—all these meanings merge into a message carried through the form and sound of the word Omen which envelops the whole of the exhibition.

A book Anska recently published by the artist accompanies the show. In fact, the book is where the exhibition began. As the light travels through its pages, a conversation between different generations continues.

The opening event will also feature the presentation of the book Anska by Agnė Juodvalkytė.
