Aušra Kleizaitė is a notable Lithuanian contemporary artist whose practice encompasses drawing, graphic art, textiles, installation, and sculpture. Her artistic output has been displayed both within Lithuania and internationally, and the artist has mounted over thirty solo exhibitions throughout her career. Kleizaitė is also a recipient of the prestigious UNESCO-Aschberg scholarship.
India holds a significant place in the artist’s life. Following the award of the UNESCO-Aschberg scholarship, she began her creative work at one of the Indian artists’ residences. Subsequently, she lived and worked for nearly two decades traversing between Lithuania and India.
During this period, she supervised an international artists’ residency, which deepened her understanding of the local culture. The annual return to various regions of the country fostered a dialogue between Eastern and Western cultures, a theme that became integral to her work. This background explains the recent exhibition that visited the Kaunas District Court.
The artist’s sustained engagement with diverse cultural landscapes, particularly her time in India, has profoundly influenced her artistic direction and themes.
