From the Ground, 2025
Andrėja Maiburovaitė presents her paintings and video works, which entwine earthly material, autobiographical memory, and poetic vision. The author’s fourth solo exhibition ‘From the Ground’ invites viewers to reflect on what remains after prosperity, what grows from roots, what remains as a trace in our everyday lives, family histories, and relationships.
Andreja’s work explores the symbolism of crude oil as a material and its transformative potential. In the exhibition, this symbolism becomes a bridge to a deeper look at scarcity, attachment, the cyclical nature of the earth, and time as matter. The artist uses painting not only as a means of representation, but as a way of capturing what at first glance seems insignificant – dirt, hay, traces, lumps.
The exhibition highlights thematic axes: roots, remains, knots, pollution, traces. These concepts encompass both the sensitive experience of womanhood and broader social and ecological issues. Poetically combining fragments of memory, archival material, and details of everyday life, the author creates a multi-layered narrative about what it means to be connected to the ground – both literally and metaphorically.
