Exhibition: Paintings by Greta Vilidaite
Award-winning Sheffield artist, nature lover and former neuroscientist Greta Vilidaite marks the end of her year-long Arts Council project with a solo exhibition of 25+ oil paintings.
Visitors can indulge in a respite from their busy lives, immersing themselves in captivating animal and landscape paintings that exude movement, light, and a sense of wanderlust.
Greta's belief centres around the growing detachment of society from nature. She advocates for prioritising the bond between humans and the natural world to safeguard wild spaces and promote better health. Through her art, Greta delves into the idea of a slower, more straightforward life, partly drawing inspiration from animals, as a way to escape the pressures of modern life and fast-paced work culture.
The exhibition is open and free to the public. Greta will also be delivering an artist talk and an oil painting workshop during the week. Please check her website for details: gretavilidaite.co.uk/exhibition
All ROAR members are invited to the Opening Night but please RSVP beforehand by sending Greta an email - greta@gretavilidaite.co.uk
