Vasarė + Lukas is a young-generation artist duo represented by The Rooster Gallery, consisting of painters Vasarė Kuprevičiūtė and Lukas Pavilonis. Both study painting at the Vilnius Academy of Arts and exhibit together as a duo, while maintaining distinct individual artistic practices.

Working collaboratively, the artists seek to create a third creative entity that exists independently from their individual work. They explore the possibilities of painting beyond the canvas and its relationship with space, creating immersive painted installations composed of furniture, household objects, accessories, decorative elements, clothing and food items. Together, these elements form environments that resemble domestic interiors and function simultaneously as stage sets, painted props and spaces for both real and imagined stories. Individual canvases can be viewed as intimate fragments of everyday life, while also becoming part of a larger, constantly shifting installation.

At the centre of the duo’s practice are ideas of home, belonging and community. Through vivid and often playful representations of everyday objects, the artists draw on personal experiences and a desire for a space of their own, while also questioning the seriousness traditionally associated with art. Their installations reflect on domestic rituals, the passage of time and the ways personal narratives are shaped by the spaces we inhabit. The viewer becomes an active part of the work: by entering, inhabiting and interpreting the painted environment, they complete the installation and give it new meaning.
