ERASMUS+ WALL “IT IS NEVER LATE”

Contextuality plays a very important role in the artwork of Artur Širin-Ettoja, and the accumulated knowledge of urban architecture helps to harmoniously infuse artistic expression into the urban landscape. The creator, who has won awards not only in Lithuania but also abroad, became interested in street art in 2002. Urban, social and ecological topics, modern man, his connection with technology and nature are relevant to him.

The artist painted his work “ERASMUS + SIENA” NEVER LATE ___________ “in order to preserve the original face of the building wall – he chose bright colors but floating lines, and tried not to obscure the original wall texture and make the work alive and inseparable. part.

The creator, who turned the legendary scientist Einstein into a semi-hippie semi-hipster, wants to remind busy street passers-by of one of the most important truths in life. The opposition between the face of the old scientist and the body of the young symbolizes a mind that is forever vivid and open to new ideas and possibilities. Anyone, albeit paused for this work, is invited to think about what they have delayed for one reason or another, but would like to return to their dream. According to the artist, it is never too late to take on new things, whatever they may be.

This work is the result of a collaboration between the Open City Gallery and the Education Exchange Support Foundation.
