For our first exhibition in 2023 in the Viewing Room Diana Savostaite (Studio 5-236) presents new large format shaped paintings. 

Come and join us for the Private View on Friday 13 January 2023, 6-9pm

Exhibition Dates: 9 January - 5 February 2023

Going Back to My Roots is a solo presentation including both - large, shaped paintings and mini abstract paintings by Diana Savostaite.

The Exhibition title refers to finding an integral connection between mind, body, and the surrounding world. Throughout her practice, Diana takes inspiration from the observation of the natural world, and absorption of everything that she sees, hears, or feels.

Her creative practice seeks to express that which is invisible by eye but what can be experienced or felt, by grasping the subtle moments of the present and feeling it through body sensations. 

Since 2019, Diana has been broadening her artwork boundaries through introducing large scale shaped canvas formats, as well as experimenting with mixed mediums, textures, collages. Experimental canvas shapes become directives to Diana’s painting, they seem to be in a constant motion and highlight the feeling of ever-changing nature, the flow of energies between inside and out.

In her latest artwork, Diana started to incorporate embroidery collages. Whilst growing up in the Lithuanian countryside, embroidery occupied a big part of her lifetime. Adding them to  her paintings is like weaving in a little piece of Lithuanian heritage, something that is very personal and deeply rooted from the beginning.

Thames-Side Studios Viewing Room is located on the ground floor of Unit 8. Entrance to Unit 8 is via The Atrium. Turn left upon entering the main site, walk through The Atrium turning to the left, to find the exhibition located between studios TB-10 and TB-09.
