Starting from August 29, the TUMO Gallery will host an exhibition of graphic and painting works by Henrikas Šalkauskas (1925–1979), an artist of Lithuanian origin who gained recognition in Australia. Having begun his artistic journey and left a significant mark in the field of graphics, from 1959 H. Šalkauskas delved into watercolor painting, striving to reach the essence of things—discarding all that is unnecessary. By refining and synthesizing motifs from the visible world into abstract forms, and almost always choosing a monochromatic color palette, he seemingly captures the essence of images, their energetic core.
The exhibition will be open until September 29, 2024.
