Caricature from the Baltic Sea Countries – exhibition

This year the exhibition is the second part of the project realized since 2014. The initiative to organize presentation of the caricatures created in the region of the Baltic Sea comes from Ryszard Wasyluk from Gdańsk and Ingrid Vautkiene with her husband Arunas Vaitkus; they are both artists from Lithuania and the organizers of culture events in Lithuania and neighbouring Latvia. The idea was born after the success of exhibitions organized in couple of towns in Lithuania. Works of Polish caricaturists were presented, such as Julian Bohdanowicz, Zbigniew Jujka, Paweł Kuczyński, Anna Sokołowska, Janusz Stefaniaj and Grzegorz Szumowski.

In 2014 we artists form Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and Russia. The exhibition had opening at the Baltic Sea Cultural Centre in Gdańsk. Later it was exhibited at “Balta” Gallery in Kaunas, “Centras” Gallery in Riga and again in Lithuania at Alytus.

In 2015 we have invited artists from other Baltic Sea States: Denmark, Finland, Germany, Norway and Sweden: Otto Dickmeiss (DK), Siri Dokken (NO), Marvin Halleraker (NO), Riber Hansson (SE), Frank Hoppmann (DE), Ørjan Jensen (NO), Valeriu Kurtu (DE), Josephine Kyhn (DK), Helena Lindholm (SE), Riina Maido (FI), Egil Nyhus (NO), Heino Partanen (FI), Peter Thulke (DE), Vesa Toukoma (FI), Morten Voigt (DK).
