Although his street art works are the most popular, he also experiments in photography, illustration, painting and design. Artworks of Timotiejus Norvila can be found in Denmark, the Netherlands, Ireland, Spain and Vilnius. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">His latest artwork, &#8220;The Epic of the Crossing&#8221;, revived an abandoned grey wall, seemingly devoid of life, and transformed it into a small story that engages almost every passer-by of \u0160vitrigailos Street. A crossing attendant is at the centre of the artwork. Here she holds a royal sceptre like a goddess, even though it is only a reflector, a tool to indicate the direction of movement and warning signs. In the foreground, you can see the figures of men working hard, with their work poses highlighted and caricatured. Bright reds, blues and browns are used to highlight the drama of the drawing. In &#8220;The Epic of the Crossing&#8221;, a mixture of <i>cartoon<\/i> (comics) and <i>graffiti<\/i> styles is presented in a contemporary way. At the same time, the artwork is also based on the form of representation of old works of art, where the man is idealised, the action is dramatized, and certain details are highlighted and given special emphasis.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3225904567 {\n  line-height: 1.75;\n  color: rgb(23, 23, 23);\n}\n#text-3225904567 > * {\n  color: rgb(23, 23, 23);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1940465949 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n  margin: 0px 0px 45px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-1940465949 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 0px 100px 0px 0px;\n  }\n}\n@media (min-width:850px) {\n  #col-1940465949 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 0px 226px 0px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-56611366\" class=\"col medium-5 small-12 large-5\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-color:rgb(227, 14, 31);border-width:4px 4px 4px 4px;margin:-42px 42px 42px -42px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n  <div class=\"banner has-hover\" id=\"banner-2004116210\">\n          <div class=\"banner-inner fill\">\n        <div class=\"banner-bg fill\" >\n            <div class=\"bg fill bg-fill \"><\/div>\n                                    \n\t<div class=\"is-border\"\n\t\tstyle=\"border-color:rgb(227, 14, 31);border-width:0px 4px 4px 0px;margin:0px 42px 42px 0px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"banner-layers container\">\n            <div class=\"fill banner-link\"><\/div>            \n   <div id=\"text-box-390091448\" class=\"text-box banner-layer x50 md-x50 lg-x50 y50 md-y50 lg-y50 res-text\">\n                                <div class=\"text-box-content text dark\">\n              \n              <div class=\"text-inner text-center\">\n                  \n              <\/div>\n           <\/div>\n                            \n<style>\n#text-box-390091448 {\n  width: 60%;\n}\n#text-box-390091448 .text-box-content {\n  font-size: 100%;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-box-390091448 {\n    width: 60%;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n    <\/div>\n \n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n\n            \n<style>\n#banner-2004116210 {\n  padding-top: 440px;\n}\n#banner-2004116210 .bg.bg-loaded {\n  background-image: url(https:\/\/opengallery.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Timotiejus-Norvila-1024x768.jpg);\n}\n#banner-2004116210 .bg {\n  background-position: 47% 30%;\n}\n<\/style>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\t<div id=\"text-3474755625\" class=\"text hide-for-small\">\n\t\t\n<p class=\"bold\" style=\"letter-spacing: 0.24em; line-height: 16px; margin-top: 30px; font-size: 10px;\">TIMOTIEJUS NORVILA &#8216;MORFAI&#8217;<\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3474755625 {\n  text-align: center;\n  color: rgb(0,0,0);\n}\n#text-3474755625 > * {\n  color: rgb(0,0,0);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row row-collapse\" style=\"max-width:84%\" id=\"row-449272338\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-961644114\" class=\"col flex medium-7 small-12 large-7\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row row-collapse\"  id=\"row-651605603\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-290271844\" class=\"col medium-12 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ultimaTimas\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"button white lowercase expand btn-design1\"  >\n    <span>Facebook<\/span>\n  <i class=\"icon-angle-right\" ><\/i><\/a>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-290271844 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 30px 4px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-961644114 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #col-961644114 > .col-inner {\n    padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_482854439 {\n  padding-top: 0px;\n  padding-bottom: 0px;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #section_482854439 {\n    padding-top: 60px;\n    padding-bottom: 60px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Timotiejus Norvila &#8216;MORFAI&#8217; (LT)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1958,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opengallery.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/1920"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opengallery.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opengallery.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artist"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opengallery.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opengallery.lt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
